LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Longtime Lake County residents Larry and Beverly Bresso are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.

The couple originally exchanged vows on May 16, 1975, at the First Presbyterian Church in Lakewood, Colorado.

The California boy and Colorado girl met at the University of Wyoming in Laramie.

Their married life began with an adventure "down under" in Australia where Larry took his first teaching assignment.

Upon returning to the United States a few years later, they chose Lake County as their home and quickly became integral members of our community.

Larry taught physical education at Kelseyville High School and, as head coach, built a volleyball program that still rivals any in our region.

Beverly devoted her professional life to serving others through several decades with California Social Services.

They raised their son Kasey in the shadow of Mt. Konocti.

They enjoy retired life in Kelseyville and their "home away from home," Kihei, Maui.

Please join their family and friends in raising a glass to Larry and Beverly Bresso on their golden wedding anniversary.
