Fran and Robert Schmitt, both 77, live in Potomac Falls. Married for 53 years, they met "as almost youngsters" when they were working for Union Switch and Signal Co. in Pittsburgh. Both are involved in activities and do volunteer work at the Loudoun County Senior Center at Cascades. After more than half a century of marriage, Robert said he believes attention is key: "You've just got to pay attention to how the other person feels about things," he said.
