A secret code helped 81-year-old Cynthia Riggs and 90-year-old Howard Attebery find love.
Riggs told CBS News recently that she
and Attebery met 60 years ago while working together at a marine
laboratory in San Diego. They often passed notes using a secret code in
which A is substituted for B, and so on.
Although Attebery liked Riggs, he never
asked her out since she didn’t feel the same way. They parted ways,
married other people and both eventually divorced.
Then, at the age of 90, Attebery decided
to tell Riggs how he really felt. He mailed a note to her home in
Massachusetts that said only, “Cynner, I have never stopped loving you.
Haward xx” in their secret code.
There was no return address, but Riggs
knew exactly who it was from. She tracked Attebery down, and within an
hour, they were engaged. They got married last month.
Another couple proved that it’s never
too late to find love last month when they married after a 40-year
separation. This couple was separated for 50 years before they finally
reunited and tied the knot.
