Little did he know, he would meet the lady who would become his wife. "She had no way of getting home so I told another guy to take her. But he didn't want to so he lent me his horse," -said Mr. Clinchey.• The couple has been together ever since, celebrating their 60th anniversary at home on November 4 with . their family and friends. They were married in the Auburn manse by Rev. W.R. Alp and then travelled to Stratford for a one day honeymoon. "We borrowed my brother's Model T and .drove to Stratford," explained Mr. McClinchey. "We visited cousins, found a show in the paper and went and watched it. "We had to head home the next day because we had to look after the farm and stock," he explained: The McClinchey's settled in the A churn area, making a living at. mixed farming. They have seven children, Robert, Eileen, William, Jewell, Norman, David and John; 17 grandchildren and 21 great- grandchildren. They are all living in the Auburn area, with the exception of William who lives in Vancouver. ' The couple celebrated the occasion at home. with friends and family, receiving flowers and over 40 cards. "We were really thrilled when we got a letter from Rev. Alp, the minister who married us," said Mrs. McClinchey. "He's 93 -years -old and lives in Toronto now. He's blind, deaf and has had another stroke so he can't talk...Not many people would send cards to people they married 60 years ago." The McClinchey's have a simple secret to a long and successful marriage - work together. "You have to talk things over and, straighten them out," said Mr. McClinchey. "But the main thing is to pull together."
