WABASH, Ind. – Roy and Martha Shepler marked their 77th anniversary with a drive down memory lane Sunday, July 30.

In 1939, Shepler cruised to the Historic Eagles Theatre in his father’s 1933 Plymouth where he met his future bride in the balcony seats.

A year later, the Sheplers married on July 29, 1940.

Now, 77 years later, Shepler and his wife took one more drive together in a 1933 Plymouth to the theater where they met to relive the night that their relationship began. The two watched “Holiday” surrounded by friends and family.

The evening was made possible by Wellbrooke of Wabash and Eagles officials who not only arranged the showing, but the ride in the vehicle as well.
