More than 10,000 years of love at Brooklyn Borough Hall
Celebrating some very special Valentines
A gaily decked-out Borough Hall was filled with close to 200 of Brooklyn’s “Golden Couples” on Friday, as Borough President Eric Adams celebrated romances that have lasted for 50 years or more.
“This is one of our favorite events,” said BP Adams. “This year we have a combined commitment of over 10,241 years of love.”
“The secret is you just stay in love,” said Sara Hill, who has been married to her sweetheart – who was sporting a smart red bow tie — for 68 years. “We do so many things together – we go to church together, we just enjoy each other,” she added.
Ms. Hill said she met Wm. Douglas (he uses the spelling of Wm. instead of William) in the Woolworth five and dime on Fulton Street between Bedford and Nostrand Avenues.
