Malden couple celebrate a Diamond Anniversary!

Special to The Advocate

Mayor Gary Christenson paid a visit to George and Dawn Plati to congratulate them on their 60^th Wedding Anniversary at a recent family celebration. Longtime Malden residents, George and Dawn raised their family in Malden and are extremely proud of their three children, 10 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. They truly enjoyed the many years they spent volunteering in the community for the Malden High School Band Parents Association, St. Rocco’s Feast and St. Peter’s Food Pantry, and they now relish spending time with family and friends. Mayor Christenson surprised them with a Citation on behalf of the City of Malden in recognition of their milestone anniversary. George and Dawn’s secret for such a long and happy marriage is “communication.”
