The Original Lulu Is Married 43 Years


MaryLou and Carl Zimmerman just celebrated their 43rd wedding anniversary. 

Although Carl is my cousin - half brother of my Dad - but the big family connection is between Lulu and Lulu. their kids are roughly the same age. They formed a play group back in Tamaqua to broaden their kids' base. I think there were about 5 or 6 women that met weekly - while the kids slugged it out on the floor - the ladies probably slugged the wine down in the kitchen  :-)

Car and Marylou have two homes - one back in Hometown PA - and one near Tampa. I tease them that the reason they will not sell their Coal Cracker home is that is is too full of stuff. They both are hearty collectors. She oftens says that "Harry's hell will be him tied to a chair in my living room."

They are just returning from a round the USA trip in their Cadillac.

Carl and Marylou spend the summers in Tamaqua and the winters in Florida near the grandkids. Carl is famous for his amateur radio hobby - and no one can forget his model trains. Marylou is famous for her stories about Carl.

The couple have two kids - Christa and Phil. Christa has a bunch of kids and Phil was a Fulbright Scholar. What a wonderful legacy.
