Working on the chain gang, 46 years and counting

Bob and Carolyn Schultz have been married for 44 calendar years, hitched in 1968. The way Bob, the longtime member of the St. Bede Academy football chain gang, looks at it, it’s really more like 43.

“I know I’ve seen at least 365 St. Bede varsity football games in that span. I’ve been married 44 years, but I’ve been away for a year, so I’ve only been home for 43,” Schultz said.

“I was dating her when I started this, so that’s all she knows — that nine Fridays in the fall, I’m pretty much gone.”
