Delightful people, John and Ann Betar are the longest married couple in the U.S. They’re from Connecticut and have been wed these 80 years. Mr. and Mrs Betar are very alert at 101 and 97. Mrs Betar has a couple of good lines in the video which can been seen here. As to the secret of their long marriage she quips “He always had his hand on my knee” and “We eloped to Madison New York. We didn’t have enough money to go any further.”
