Cupids arrows fly, mysterious and unseen, bringing people like Calvin and Jane Netter together.
It was Aug. 15, 2006, and Calvin Netter had just moved into Holley Court Terrace in Oak Park. Calvin was upstairs, waiting to go to eat dinner.
“I saw this beautiful girl walking down the aisle and I asked her to join me for dinner,” he said.
Jane Hockstein thought that would be fine, though she was waiting for a friend.
“He thought it was a male friend,” she said. “It was really a girlfriend.”
And so, the three went to dinner together. After, Jane invited Calvin to watch the televisionnews at her place, since his television wasn’t hooked up yet. “We’ve been watching the news ever since,” she said.
Jane and Calvin married Jan. 13 at Holley Court Terrace where they met. Both are in their early 80s, both on their second marriage. And so far, life for the newlyweds has been wonderful, Calvin said.
“To have someone to help take care of each other,” he said. “That’s what’s important.”
