This couple is amazing: they have been married for 83 years. That's longer than almost anybody I know has been alive. Think of it this way--when they got married, Calvin Coolidge was president; the NFL was three years old and featured teams like the Akron Pros, the Milwaukee Badgers, and the Oorang Indians; women had only voted in one presidential election; and the USSR had not yet begun teething.
But here's something else amazing. The last paragraph of the article reads:
Their family includes six children, 39 grandchildren, 101 great-grandchildren and 40 great-great grandchildren.
So by my addition, that's 186 living, lineal descendants. Sheesh.
