Happy 60th Wedding Anniversary to Albert and Gretchen Kuhbander of rural Arcanum.
Al and the former Gretchen Shoffstall met each other in Dayton many years ago. They were married on February 6, 1960, at the Third Street Baptist Church in Dayton by the Youth Pastor there at the time, Richard Vantime.
The Kuhbanders moved to the Arcanum area in the mid-60s and became members of Immanuel Baptist Church. Al and Gretchen have four children: John (Elaine) Kuhbander, Mark (Melina) Kuhbander, Cheryl (Vince) Pressley, and Dan (Kathy) Kuhbander. They also have nine grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
Please join the family in celebration for the blessing of Al and Gretchen’s 60 years of marriage on Saturday, February 8, from 2-4 p.m. at Immanuel Baptist Church, 500 West South St,, Arcanum. The couple request your presence only, no gifts. A long-standing marriage is blessed with many virtues, first and foremost perfect love where God instructs us of what love really is in I Corinthians 13. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 New International Version (NIV) – 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

February is American Heart Month, a federally designated event, made possible by President Lyndon B. Johnson by a proclamation in February of 1964. At that time, more than half the deaths in the U.S. were caused by cardiovascular disease. Today, heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. Every year, 1 in 4 deaths are caused by heart disease. As most of you are aware, I lost my husband last year to heart disease. Please reach out to your loved ones and have them get a checkup.
According to the American Heart Association 80 percent of cardiac and stroke events may be prevented with education and action! The perfect gift this Valentine’s Day is the gift of heart health. This year have a heart-to-heart with your patients, friends, and family and commit to a healthy lifestyle. Small changes can make all the difference.
