Helen & Bill Eschliman celebrate 60th anniversary

Helen and Bill Eschliman celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary Nov. 15, 2008. Friends and family honored the couple by joining them for dinner at Catfish and Company in Hurst.

After dating five months they set the wedding date, Friday, Nov. 13, 1948.

The grandchildren that were able to attend were Angela Brooks and husband, Robert, Shannon Carney Sweatt and husband, Craig, Stacey Carney, Damon Oliphant, and Scottina Oliphant Haase and husband, Kenny. Helen and Bill's great-grandchildren that were able to attend were Ashtyn Sweatt, Caleb Forbes, Kailey Haase, Ethan Brooks, and soon to be Callen Sweatt.

The Air Force Academy recently graduated their first openly gay cadets. What does this signify?

Nothing. There have always been gay cadets, they just haven't been open.
A step backward. Sexual orientation issues shouldn't be a part of the military.
A step forward. The military needs to be open to people of all backgrounds.
No opinion.
