Two college flames decided to get married thanks to the Internet. The news: It was 50 years after their last classes.
Tom Pebworth and Lynn Hollis dated for more than two years in college — he at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, in Terre Haute, Ind., she at nearby Hanover College — but went their separate ways. Each of them had gotten married and was recently widowed.
Not knowing what had become of his old sweetheart, Mr. Pebworth, 71, decided to Google her, reports The Vindicator, in Youngstown, Ohio. He found her, now Lynn Hollis Doyle, 68, on the staff Web page of her local church. One e-mail message led to another, and soon they were catching up in a Cracker Barrel restaurant at an interstate exit in Ohio. And now they are married. "I really don't think we were meant to be alone," says the bride. "We need other people to be whole." –Dan Carnevale
