The Blade, Thompsons' 50th! Dean Thompson and Maria (Meza) were married in Roswell, New Mexico in 1963. This weekend we celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. After meeting in a local diner while Dean served in the U.S. Air Force, they decided to spend the rest of their lives together. Shortly after leaving the Air Force, they decided to move to Dean's home town of Toledo, OH where they raised 3 children of their own and are now enjoying their 10 grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Congratulations, Mom and Dad. We love you!
