Gene and Juanita Gould, 79 and 78, have been married for 55 years and live in Sterling. They were wed in the Lackland Air Force Base chapel in San Antonio in 1952. Gene was an Air Force lieutenant. With different schedules, Juanita cooks the dinner meal and Gene insists he dries dinner dishes. Both agree: "Keep a sense of humor and don't take too much seriously."
