After a six year courtship that began at a church youth group meeting while seniors in high school, Carol and Terry Kriesel were married August 16, 1964, in Portland. In celebration of their 50th anniversary, they recently went on a cruise to Alaska with their daughters and extended family. The couple splits the year living in Cathlamet and Green Valley, Arizona. They still hold hands and have sparkles in their eyes for each other.
