Jim and Eileen Green are celebrating their 50^th Anniversary this weekend. The enduring couple was married March 1^st 1958 in London England.

Jenni Sanjurjo, owner of Seymour Realty, is having a party for the Greens with family and friends including Jim’s brother and his wife from California.

The Greens came from England in 2003 to be with their daughter, Jenni Sanjurjo, son, Steve Green and their four grandchildren.

“I was going to have a surprise anniversary party for them, but unfortunately, they started making their own plans which conflicted with my party plans and I had to reveal my secret,” stated Sanjurjo.

In addition to the party, Sanjurjo and Steve Green collectively contributed to a recent New York trip for the anniversary couple.

Anyone who has been to the Seymour Community Park probably knows Jim as he is very involved in the park and soccer. As a matter of fact, the park has been renamed after him as Jim Green Soccer Field. It was named after him because of his dedication and effort put forth to make the Seymour Community Park what it is today.

Jim’s love of soccer has been with him ever since he was a baby boy, according to daughter Sanjurjo.

“He barely made it to his wedding, but missed my baptism, he was busy playing soccer,” Sanjurjo told the Herald. “Which is probably where my brother and I get our love of the game too.”

“Let’s hope he doesn’t miss his Anniversary Party,” stated Sanjurjo.

Jobs' cousin on his mothers side. But aside from that, people when we decide to flame people on a message board hiding behind the anonymity of the internet could we please learn proper sentence structure and spelling? After all spell check is not that difficult to use.
