A DeForest couple has come to personify many of the vows associated with marriage after celebrating 80 years together.

The year 1932 was a very big year. The original gangster film "Scarface" was released, the Hoover Dam had just being built, Chicago's Al Capone was sent to prison and the third Winter Olympic Games were held in Lake Placid, N.Y.

It was a year of love, as well. That was the year Alice and Ted Rortvedt got married. Since then, they've have a lifetime of stories and memories together.

"To tell you the truth about it, I really don't know how we got together, to be honest with you," laughed Ted, who turned 100 last December.

"He had a car," said 98-year-old Alice. "He could drive me to where I wanted to go! I think I liked the car better than I liked him.?

To this day, Alice still wears her original wedding ring from 1932.

School Board member Jim McCourt has given notice to the Sun Prairie School Board that he will resign his position following the May 14 meeting due to the relocation of his company to California. 

McCourt said in his letter of resignation that his company's home office will soon be operating out of the San Francisco Bay area.

Because of this change, McCourt wrote he would be unavailable to attend meetings or have the time required to perform his duties as a school board member.

The School Board will follow district procedure to find a person to fill the remaining one year let on McCourt's term. 

School district residents interested in filling this position should submit letter of application to Deputy District Administrator Phil Frei by 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 31.

Voting for candidates will be done by the School Board.
