‘Partners in everything’: Couple celebrates 70 years of marriage FRASER — Who knew a date for hamburgers could be the start of a seven-decade union? Well, Paul and Sharon Marinello might’ve had an inkling.
“You know what they say in the movies? ‘I saw her and I knew I was going to marry her.’ Well, close to it,” Paul said. “I knew I had to have her.” Sharon went to an all-girls high school in Detroit called Goldberg. Paul’s high school, also in Detroit, was called Wilbur
