I pick up good stories where most people do -- from their hairdressers. My latest story is no exception. My sweet-as-sugar hair stylist at Panyc Salon (blatant plug alert!) recently told me the true story of a quirky elderly couple; we'll call them "Frank" and "Mary" because those are good 'quirky, elderly couple' names. So Frank and Mary were an elderly couple who were married for the better part of 50 years. They had their ups and downs as most married couples do, but on the whole had a happy partnership based on mutual love, commitment, and respect.
