The Blade, Barneses' 60th On November 28th Chet and Agnes Barnes will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary at Happy Rose Buffet on Airport Hwy. with family and some of their Amish friends from Camden, MI. For the past 20 years they have visited their Amish friends and eaten in their homes many times a year. Happy Rose was also the venue for their 50th anniversary party, and where you can find them every Monday for lunch. It is owned and operated by Fiona Lin and her husband, Jian Qi Liu. Chet was an educator and guidance counselor with Toledo Public Schools, retiring in 1996. Following his retirement, he and Agnes combined their efforts in Eye-Catching Photos, selling at art shows in Ohio during the summer months. They have traveled to Europe and England, South Africa, South Pacific Islands, China and most of the United States. Agnes collaborated with Dr. Scott Sheperd on the book Choosing the Gift, which highlights Agnes' photographs. Some interesting facts about Chet and Agnes: They are the parents of John, who lives in Columbus, and Beth Ann, and the grandparents of James and Lauren. After their daughter Beth Ann died in 1980 they facilitated a bereaved parents' support group for over ten years. They have lived in the same home for 50 years. They continue using a Kenmore toaster which they received for a wedding gift. AND, they are still using a skillet borrowed from a Haitian classmate 60 years ago and cannot find him to return it!
