Harold and Marie Asner will celebrate their 50th anniversary on Aug. 18. The Asners were married in 1968 in St. Cloud, Minnesota, with Louis Asner as best man. Harold and Marie have lived in the Kansas City area for 37 years.
Marie is a retired church organist and is a member of the Selichot Choir and Interfaith Choir at Congregation Beth Torah. She is also an entertainment reviewer with over 5,800 bylines and a former Kansas Senior Poet Laureate.
Harold was a real estate branch manager for the U.S. Postal Service. He later served as a tutor coordinator at Johnson County Community College until his recent retirement.
The Asners plan to have a small 50th anniversary party with close family and then celebrate each month for the next 12 months in a special way, either with friends or relatives as they come through the Kansas City area or in a charitable way. They are thankful for their 50 years of marriage.
