“The day before Roger Greenberg, a then-66-year-old ex-con, married Evelyn Zucker, a then-83-year-old invalid widow, he wrote a note to his bride-to-be.”

(It started out with a less interesting introduction then what the story actually is. Read onto the third paragraph, now thats an will catch someones eye). Also if that link does not work, its in the Washington Post, Monday February 22, 2010, Metro Section, Front Page.
