Alabama Couple Celebrates 80th Wedding Anniversary

I read about some interesting news from my home State. A couple from Scottsboro, Alabama recently celebrated their 80th wedding anniversary. This makes one of the longest recorded marriages in history. Alonzo and Beulah Sims married when they were teenagers and spent most of their lives doing farm work. They now live together in a nursing home. “After all these years,” Alonzo said, “I still enjoy being with her.” I watched a video interview in which he leaned over in his wheelchair and gave his wife a kiss (who was also in a wheelchair). Great story!

To College Faculty and Administrators: Free Anti-Drug Seminar

I’m now working on a seminar which explains the dangers of drug use. The seminar includes a 30 minute video about drug use in the Filipino context. I’m still working on it, but I think the entire seminar will be about an hour long. It will also include information about alcohol and cigarettes. Please contact me if you are interested in having this seminar on your campus next semester.
