Linda and Michael Weinroth
54 years
June 14, 1970, at Jacksonville Jewish Center
How they met:
Michael: We went on a beach picnic. As the day progressed on that cold day, flying a kite was fun and relaxing.
Linda: Then we had dinner at Mike’s parents’ house – who has dinner with your date’s parents on the first date? But they were very warm and welcoming!
Initial attraction:
Michael: When I first saw Linda, I thought she was cute and attractive with her red hair and green eyes as a great combination. My mother had already heard about Linda in the beauty parlor before the date!
Linda: Initially Mike made a snarky comment, so “no initial attraction,” but as the date evolved, we had much to talk about and never went out with anyone else after that!
Secret to a happy marriage:
Michael: Patience, apologizing, even if it hurts … and having easy children!
Linda: We complement each other’s strengths – I love to cook, and he likes to clean! We support each other’s interests and are proud of each other’s achievements.
