[Magdalen] 50 years of marriage

[Rick Mashburn]

Happy anniversary, Ginga and John!!! That's awesome!

As someone who spent most of his life as a single man, I can't imagine how
good such a long marriage must feel. Hard to believe, but it's coming up
on three years for me and Alex. While there have been challenges, overall
it's been an awesome experience and I am grateful every day that we took a
chance on one another. We won't make it 50 years (unless there are some
serious medical miracles on the horizon) but I'm going to make the most of
whatever time we have together.

Congratulations, Ginga and John. Enjoy your special celebration this
weekend!

Peace, Rick
San Antonio
