NY couple, 85, to remarry after 48-year divorce
WEST SENECA, N.Y. (AP) - They got hitched while still in their teens, divorced 20 years later and are getting remarried after nearly a half-century apart.
For Lena Henderson and Roland Davis, the second time around is finally here, even if they're both 85.
The Buffalo-area couple plans to get married again on Saturday, with four generations of their family on hand to see it happen.
The couple tells The Buffalo News they met as teenagers in Chattanooga, Tenn., and after marrying had four children together. They divorced in 1964 but always kept in touch.
Henderson moved to West Seneca 30 years ago. Davis, a military retiree, was living alone in Colorado after his previous wife died several months ago. During a telephone conversation with Henderson, he proposed to her, and she said yes.

That's it? That's the whole story? Come on, Komo! You could have made this a really touching piece with history of their life's together and separate. Maybe posted a then and now picture. But instead its just a short paragraph. What's the point of doing the story if you aren't going to make it an interesting one?

Man, you writers must really hate your jobs. "Lots of spelling and grammar errors? Check. Lack of newsworthy content? Check. Lack of interesting detail? Check. Ok, its good enough to be a Komo story!"
Â
My English 101 papers are better than that story.

 @Tattooed_Angel Yeah all that about the KOMO writers hating their jobs and not wanting to polish it up makes a lot of sense, especially since this story came from the Associated Press, mainly from The Buffalo News which is clearly stated in the article.
To quote Steppenwolf, "It's never too late to start all over again."
