Wingert's celebrate 60 years married

Ron (Spike) and Elaine Wingert were married August 24th 1954. Ron says we had all boys (3) except for the girls (9)! From this union there are 30 grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren. The grandchildren remember grandpa's sayings; "Okay,fine" and "If you have coffee you gotta have sweets."
   They lived in Sioux Falls South Dakota after Ron's army stint and have resided in the same house for over 50 years. Ron retired from the Post Office after 30 years as a carrier and ended up as as an electronic technician on the new letter sorting machine. Elaine was pretty much a stay-at-home Mom. (household technician)
 They came to Magnolia Park 13 years ago to visit relatives and with the exception of one year have come every year since.
   They thank God for the strength he has given them through the many blessings, joys and hardships of all the years.
