Wayland Town Crier 4/6/11: Couple marks 65 years of marriage with a second wedding and a first ring. Betty Potter was awestruck by the diamond sparkler her honey slipped on her left ring finger yesterday. She kept saying softly, "It's so nice. It's so pretty." As for him, "Oh, boy, am I happy!" Everett "Pop" Potter exclaimed. Sixty-five years after they tied the knot, the Wayland couple fulfilled Pop's dying wish yesterday: the 97-year-old hospice patient finally gave his wife, 86, the engagement ring he couldn't afford when they were young.
