Endless
Love
Ed and Norma Pozo
June 14, 1947
The Pozos will celebrate their 70th anniversary this month.
Norma met Ed when she and a girlfriend went to a Spanish
movie in New York City. It was during World War II, Ed and
his brother were on leave and in New York. Dressed in
their Navy uniforms they made a quite dashing impression.
Norma and Ed corresponded for a year while he was
stationed in Uruguay. Though he proposed before he left,
they both feel they fell in love through their letters. When he
came back to New York, they were married.
Norma said telling your mate how much they are
appreciated is important. She tells Ed she can’t live without
him. Ed believes you shouldn’t say anything you don’t
mean, even in jest.
Jose and Millie Cravetz
Feb. 4, 1954
Jose and Millie Cravetz have been married 63 years. They
met in New York at a Latin American Club. At one of the
club’s parties, Millie noticed Jose was one of the quiet guys
among the exuberant Latin Americans and she caught his
eye. Despite claiming he had two left feet, he asked her to
dance. They believe they fell in love that night and dated for a
year before marrying. Millie’s father teased her that a Cuban
born girl had to go all the way to New York to fall in love with
a Cuban man.
Jose said the key to staying married is spouses should listen
not only with their ears but also with their hearts. They both
agree that another key to a happy marriage is not letting the
little things become big things. P
