We are in 1934 (1934!!!) at the University of Austin; John in charge of American football and Charlotte in studies. The student who only thinks of the oval ball has nevertheless spotted the young woman in the aisles of campus, but it is still only a smile in the distance, one silhouette among hundreds.

So since they are childless, it was their nephew who concluded the exchange with the media who came to honor the Henderson spouses:“You will never hear them complaining and saying that it was better before. They are still making plans for their future together. They enjoy every moment, they savor life. Their happiness is to be together. »
