GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY FOR BOB SPRINGER AND BARBARA HIPSMAN SPRINGER

 



50th wedding anniversary for Bob Springer and Barbara Hipsman Springer!!!


Former BJ op ed editor Bob Springer and Barbara Hipsman Springer celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Friday, Sept. 1 in Fort Myers, Florida.

Barbara posted:

 

“Yep… let’s see September 1, 1979… happy anniversary to the sweetest guy ever. You put up with my schemes and moods and downright tomfoolery. To another 50 or 50? Happy Anniversary to US! (Thanks Liz Poppens Denius for the timely shot!)

Trivia:

Bob Springer’s father studied accounting in night school at Loyola in Chicago for a time, but didn't finish. With four kids to feed (four boys in 38 months from birth of first to birth of fourth -- yikes), no surprise there. One of his classmates was Bob Newhart.

Bob also was on the Kent State faculty at one time. Barbara retired from Kent State in 2013 after 26 years in Journalism and Mass Communication.
