Jerry and Tally’s love story is like something out of a movie. The two of them met as teenagers, bonding over a shared love of ice skating. But the special connection they felt on the ice followed them everywhere else, too. Now, after 60 years, they’re still as happy as can be together — and they’ve yet to hang up their ice skating shoes, either.
