Not often can we take our hats off and blow our party whistles for a 75th anniversary celebration! Betty and Don Simpson of Mission Hills, Kansas, have spent 75 years in marital bliss, and they hosted cocktails and dinner at their Brookwood Road home on June 30th with family and friends in attendance. The couple has four children, 14 grandchildren, and 19 great-grandchildren, with two more on the way. This devoted pair has adored their homes in Lake Lotawana and Vail, Colorado; and they have been the “parents” to six golden retrievers named Sandy! Happy Anniversary!
