Frances and Silas Plybon reflect on 73 years of marriage

Plybons in Paris in 1994.

“Dad and Mom have always been an inspiration to us. They have been help mates through the years and depend on each other. They always show their affection for each other, with a kiss and hug in the morning and whenever one of them is leaving to go out, a kiss goodbye and a ‘Iove you!’ I have always admired how adventurous my parents have been, especially after retiring. They both rode together in a twin engine plane, a single engine plane, a helicopter and a sea plane. Mom has ridden a camel, parasailed, ridden in a hot air balloon and did a zip line canopy tour while in Mexico. We have been so fortunate and blessed to have such loving parents.” --Sylvia Plybon Pagans
