"Una vez que comenzamos, no retrocedemos".<\/span><\/p>\n

Eso lo resume todo para Rod Jenkins cuando se trata de c\u00f3mo \u00e9l y su esposa Marge operan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cuando se trata del matrimonio, han pasado 68 a\u00f1os para ellos.<\/span><\/p>\n

Les gusta acampar, tanto que han echado la cabeza en 47 estados diferentes, y en todas las provincias canadienses menos una. El que falta son los Territorios del Noroeste si lo preguntas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rod es miembro del Club de Leones ... de 50 a\u00f1os.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00bfReceta fr\u00e1gil de man\u00ed de Marge que toma 1 hora por sart\u00e9n, solo para hacer 4 bolsas modestas? No ha terminado hasta que haya suficiente para todos sus amigos y familiares, y mucho para vender en la venta de pasteles de la iglesia.<\/span><\/p>\n

En ese gran esquema de cosas para ellos, Rod y Marge no han sido voluntarios de Meals on Wheels para <\/span>ese <\/span><\/i>largo. Pero para el resto de nosotros, ha sido una tenencia bastante impresionante.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joanne Larsen dijo que no est\u00e1 muy segura de cu\u00e1ndo Rod y Marge comenzaron a dar a luz, pero estaban all\u00ed cuando ella comenz\u00f3 como coordinadora del programa del vecindario Southwest Minneapolis Meals on Wheels hace 20 a\u00f1os. Rod y Marge no pueden recordar cu\u00e1ndo comenzaron, pero fue poco despu\u00e9s de retirarse hace unos 25 a\u00f1os.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marge, de 88 a\u00f1os, y Rod, de 87, todav\u00eda se est\u00e1n fortaleciendo, pero recientemente decidieron colgar sus llaves, por as\u00ed decirlo. Hicieron su \u00faltima entrega de Meals on Wheels en marzo.<\/span><\/p>\n

No se mueven tan f\u00e1cilmente como sol\u00edan hacerlo, por lo que buscan otras oportunidades de voluntariado que no involucren tanto conducir. Para honrarlos por sus muchos a\u00f1os de servicio, nos sentamos con los Jenkins para aprender un poco m\u00e1s sobre ellos.<\/span><\/p>\n

C\u00f3mo comenzaron a entregar comidas: <\/b>Un amigo en su iglesia les pidi\u00f3 que vinieran por una ruta, y luego, como lo cuentan, desaparecieron misteriosamente ese d\u00eda. Lo describen como una obra de buen car\u00e1cter y sigui\u00f3 regresando.<\/span><\/p>\n

Por qu\u00e9 lo disfrutan: <\/b>"Est\u00e1 ayudando a alguien que necesita ayuda y pudimos hacerlo", dice Rod. Marge dice que ver las caras familiares en la ruta de entrega era algo que le gustaba. "Se acostumbraron a vernos cada 6 semanas", dice ella.<\/span><\/p>\n

C\u00f3mo se conocieron: <\/b>En el grupo juvenil de la Iglesia Metodista Unida de Hennepin Avenue. Dijeron que hubo un descanso de 2 meses en alg\u00fan momento relacionado con el disgusto del padre de Marge con Rod usando su Harley como el m\u00e9todo principal para transportar a su hija. Se deshizo de su Harley y no se arrepiente.<\/span><\/p>\n

C\u00f3mo conoci\u00f3 a Rod su primera hija: <\/b>Eso no lleg\u00f3 hasta que ella ten\u00eda 6 meses. Rod se despleg\u00f3 en la Guerra de Corea cuando ella naci\u00f3, y su reuni\u00f3n fue capturada en la primera plana del Minneapolis Tribune. Ahora tienen 3 hijas, 7 nietos, 11 bisnietos y 2 tataranietos.<\/span><\/p>\n

El secreto de 68 a\u00f1os felices de matrimonio: <\/b>"Discutimos todo a fondo y luego lo hacemos a su manera, pero entiendo las \u00faltimas dos palabras", dice Rod. "Y esos son, 'S\u00ed, cari\u00f1o'". Bromas aparte, Marge dice que la comunicaci\u00f3n y el compromiso es de lo que se trata.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00bfInspirado por Rod y Marge? Siempre necesitamos m\u00e1s voluntarios de entrega. Obtenga m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n sobre el voluntariado para Meals on Wheels<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
