WACO, Texas, Feb. 13 A Texas couple who fell in love in high school will be celebrating their first anniversary after being apart for 60 years.

Anna Huff and Bob Street met in 1946 when Anna was an usherette at the Orpheum Theater in Waco, Texas, and Bob was manager of the Waco High School football team, The Waco Tribune Herald reported.

The pair split up after Bob's graduation and went on to marry other people, who they were widowed or divorced from.

With the help of the Internet and directory assistance, Huff's daughter tracked down Street in Texarkana, Texas, and gave him her mother's phone number.

It was as if there never was 60 years between us, Huff told the Tribune Herald after Street called her. The two married last May a whirlwind courtship of one week and an engagement of one month, the newspaper said.
