Bob & Kaye on wedding day



Bob & Kaye today

45^th anniversary for Bob Carpenter & wife

Kent State graduate and former WKNT news director Bob Carpenter and wife Kaye of Punta Gorda, Florida are celebrating their 45^th wedding anniversary today.

Writes Bob:

“How fortunate a traveler I am, to share this journey with Kaye all these years. We were married March 26, 1971 in Ravenna, Ohio in the Lutheran Church officiated by the Lutheran preacher, assisted by my brother Bill, a Catholic Dominican Priest who went by the name of Father Leonard of the Memphis Cathedral.

“Later, we were blessed with the birth of our son John who now lives in Los Angeles.

“We don't need a lot to be happy ... because we have each other.

“Love you Kaye!”

The Vietnam Air Force veteran and his wife have traveled the world extensively, and cruise often to this day.
