WILBER 50th

Janice and Charlie Wilber celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on June 23, 2018, with the Milo Academy Church family in Days Creek, Ore.

Janice Harlow met Charlie Wilber in 1966 at La Sierra College (now La Sierra University) in California. She was a student, and he was working in the cafeteria. During that year Charlie was drafted and spent 18 months in Germany with the U.S. Army. After he returned, the pair became engaged and were married in the Corona Church on June 2, 1968.

Charlie worked as a Loma Linda Foods salesman in southern California. Then they moved to Rio Lindo Academy in Healdsburg, Calif., and spent one summer working at Camp Wawona in central California. In 1974, they moved their young family to Milo Adventist Academy. Over the years they have done many jobs for the academy and its industry, Thunderbird Furniture, when it was operating on campus. Now, in retirement they enjoy traveling to camp meeting and raising a garden.

Both of their sons and daughters-in-law were able to attend the anniversary celebration: Charlie and Lori Wilber of Redland, Calif.; Larry and Misti Wilber of Walla Walla, Wash.; and 5 grandchildren.
