[Magdalen] 50 years of marriage

[Mahoney, W. Michael]

In the early years of our marriage, my wife and would tease each other and
our friends that it was not a life commitment; it was a five year contract,
subject to renewal after extensive evaluation.

Next July, we will come to the end of our 10th extension.  I expect we will
agree to an 11th.
