Six decades after meeting the love of his life at high school and spending 45 years apart, a 78-year-old man got down on his knees at an airport and surprised his life-long love with a proposal to spend the remainder of their lives together.
Dr. Thomas McMeekin and Nancy Gambell, both 78, met as teens at high school in Quincy, California. Ms. Gambell, then a cheerleader, had no idea that the sporty, would-be doctor had a crush on her. They dated briefly in college before life took them in different directions into work, marriage, and raising children in different states.
