Virginia and Orvin Glenn Buck celebrate their 50th - "I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars, he sure knew what he was doin'...."
By Bob Weaver
"It has flown, flown by," said Virginia Ann Weaver Buck, celebrating her 50th
wedding anniversary with Orvin Glenn Buck this past weekend in Grantsville.
Dozens of family members and friends helped them celebrate the occasion.
"A highlight was my daughter-in-law Annie singing a favorite song "Keeper of the
Stars," said Virginia Ann, the lyrics saying "It was no accident me finding you,
someone had a hand in it, long before we ever knew..."
The couple attended school together, graduating from Calhoun High School in
1951. They have made their home in Grantsville all these years, she retiring from
the Calhoun Bank after 31 years and he from Pennzoil after 36 years. They are
both members of the First Baptist Church.
The Buck's are parents of two sons, Stephen and William. They have three
grandsons, Jeremy, Michael and Jeffrey.
Virginia is the daughter of the late Oral Dewey and Oleta Marshall Weaver and he
is the son of the late Vanna Buck Waldo and Orvan Buck of Columbus, Ohio.
Guests at the Buck anniversary had a chance to look at their large collection of
pictures, stretching across the years. One interesting collectible was "The Old
Woman Who Lived in a Shoe," a creation of their 6th grade teacher Edna
Ferguson Swanson at Grantsville Grade School. The collage has pictures of all
the students of the class. (See below)
"It was a wonderful day with our family and friends," said Orvin Glenn.
