Sheila and Dr. Allan Bleich
62 years
Sept. 8, 1962, at Congregation Beth Jacob
How they met: At the Department of Radiology at Emory University. Sheila was a radiology tech student. Allan was an intern doing his rotation.
Initial attraction:
Allan: I saw a beautiful, happy young lady with a strikingly unique hairstyle.
Sheila: I had mono and my doctor said I couldn’t wash my hair for a month. I just leaned over and brushed my hair all to the top of my head, and it stayed there! I saw Allan walking down the hallway of the X-ray department wearing his whites. He looked very cute! I didn’t want to think about it anymore because I didn’t know if he was Jewish.
Secret to a happy marriage:
Allan: Disagreements occur. There is nothing worth arguing about.
Sheila: Focus on the positive. Give to him and learn from him.
