❤️ Besties for the resties

Throughout the 1950's, Marita Swenson and Claude Frable spent their weekends together. 

It all started at a school dance; the pair hit it off and decided to spend every weekend together from there-on-out. For the next few years, Marita and Claude were inseparable – until Claude went off to serve in the military. 

✈️ Never too late... The pair eventually lost touch, and each went on to get married and have families of their own. That is, until 2009, when Claude tracked down Marita and gave her a call. 

• The two have kept in touch via phone for the last 14 years. Then, last month, Marita flew from Arizona to Washington to visit her friend for a reunion 60+ years in the making.

💬 What they're saying: It was "an amazing day," according to Marita. “The friendship will never ever end until one of us is no more.”
