Robert and Marna Porath - 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARYRobert and Marna Porath of Amity are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this year by inviting friends and family to do good deeds. As a result of a computer dating list in their senior year, Robert asked Marna out, and they’ve been together ever since. Robert was a hospital pharmacist for 36 years, serving at Salem Hospital and Willamette Valley Medical Center, until his retirement in 2015. Inspired by their Amity property, they studied native plants and mushrooms, and volunteered with the Native Plant Society of Oregon. Marna attends monthly work parties at the Native Plant Garden at the McMinnville Public Library.
