ANNIVERSARY

Lee and Lorna Gibson

50th Anniversary

Lee and Lorna Gibson are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary with friends and family on Nov. 4, 2012, in Coeur d'Alene. The couple met in Eldridge, Calif., while working as Psychiatric Technicians at Sonoma State Hospital, and eventually eloped to Carson City, Nev., on Lee's 1959 Harley Davidson Duo Glide.

A retired electrical foreman, Lee spends time on their ranch in Rathdrum working on a multitude of projects and Lorna, a retired National Parks Ranger, loves to create beautiful sunset-themed paintings which are found on display at various local businesses throughout the area.

They couple have five children, Julie, Lee, Mike, Jim and John who blessed them with eight grandchildren, three great-grandchildren with a fourth one due in May 2013.

Lee is often in the field fishing or hunting as he has done every year since he was a boy, and Lorna enjoys visiting with friends while playing bingo at the "Dog Track" on Friday nights. Their advice to couples who are planning to get married? Respect your partner and always find ways to show them that you love them.
