Marguerite and Gary Munro

By Bill Rea
It was a time to celebrate 50 years of marriage Sunday.
Local couple Gary and Marguerite Munro were joined by family and friends at St. James’ Anglican Church in Caledon East to mark their 50th wedding anniversary.
The actual day was Friday, as they were wed July 17, 1965 at Bolton United Church. Mrs. Munro was from Bolton while her husband was from Caledon East.
They recalled there was rain that day, but things improved.
“When we came out of the church, the sun was shining beautifully,” she said.
The Munros had three sons (two are still living), and they have three step-grandchildren and three step-great-grandchildren.
Mr. Munro worked at Northern Telecom, while his wife worked for the Town of Caledon 18 years, at the Caledon Community Complex.
When asked what the secret is for staying married 50 years, Mr. Munro jokingly replied “I was away a lot.”
“Laughter, lots of laughter,” was the secret Mrs. Munro cited. “You have to have a great sense of humour.”
