mer, of Moorland Greaient, Chtheroe, spent Saturday toasting the momentous occasion , over a family meal. The couple met in extraordinary circum
stances, thrown together by the Second World War. Otto (78) was a German PoW, who spent
time in Gisburn before being moved else- ^ where. After his release and having spent several
years working with the Royal Engineers as a trained electrician, he decided to return to Gisbum, where he met local girl Margaret (71) on New Year’s eve, 1953. The couple both attended a dance at the
White Bull, Gisbum. After a brief courtship they married the
following September at St Mary’s Church in Gisburn and shortly afterwards set up home in Chatbura Old Road, Clitheroe. Mr Volkmer, who came originally from ;
Ludwigshafen, a town close to Heidelberg, started work at Ribblesdale Cement, where he enjoyed a successful career up to his
retirement in 1988. Meanwhile, Mrs Volkmer worked part
time at Kaydee Books for many years as well as bringing up daughter Carol (47). The couple said that their 50 years of
marriage had been happy and relatively stress-free, and they now enjoy spending time with their four grandchildren. They celebrated their anniversary with a meal at the Duke of York, Grindleton, with
close family members. Our picture shows Mr and Mrs Volkmer. (B080904/2)
