JUBILEES : TROWS CELEBRATE 50 HIGH-FLYING YEARS.

The golden wedding anniversary of Ann and William Trow of Panorama City was celebrated with a renewal of their vows at St. Genevieve's Catholic Church in Panorama City. It was followed by a reception for 100 guests, arranged by their children and grandchildren, at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall Post 10040 in Sun Valley.

After finishing high school, William graduated from Cal-Aero Technical Institute in Glendale. During World War II, he served in the U.S. Air Force in Europe and was recalled to active duty during the Korean War.

The couple met in Tucson and were married there. They moved to California in 1947 and have lived at the same Panorama City address since 1949.

Ann, who graduated from Sacred Heart High School in Larium, Mich., worked for the Mountain States Telephone Co. and recently retired from the Vons grocery chain after more than 29 years.

William worked for California Central Airlines as an aircraft engine inspector, then for Rocketdyne in Santa Susana testing rocket engines. Prior to his retirement, he worked in transportation for the film industry. Nowadays, he is a volunteer driver for disabled veterans who need transportation to and from their medical appointments.

The Trows are the parents of four children - Patricia Ann Tucker of Canyon Country; William III of Crescent City; Robert of Panorama City and Thomas of Thousand Oaks - and grandparents of two granddaughters and three grandsons.
