LAKEVIEW — Perry and Lois Parmelee, who moved to Lakeview in 1978, are celebrating their 55th wedding anniversary.
Perry’s analysis for lasting 55 years of marriage with the same partner is “It’s just something you work at.”
When Perry and Lois were married in 1955, Dwight D. Eisenhower was president, Winston Churchill was still prime minister of the United Kingdom, and “Rock Around the Clock” by Bill Haley and His Comets was just beginning to rock teenagers around the clock.
Since that time, they have become parents to 17 children, including three of their own, seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
Prior to their marriage, Lois worked at a hospital in California and Perry worked as a dairyman.
It was through his job that “he met a fella” and they got to talking and, as soon as he could turn his head, he was set up on a blind date with Lois.
“Don’t ask me how, why or what,” he said. It just was.
On their third date, Perry proposed. On the fifth, they were married.
“That’s what you call a...
