Whoever said Valentine's Day Valentine's Day: see Saint Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day

It was right around this time a couple of years ago when Stanley walked into ONE Generation, looking for Looking for

Myrna remembers it a little differently. She says Stanley indeed came in, looking for a job, and that she gave him a list of a half-dozen referrals. But he told her boss, Carol Danziger, that all the jobs were bad.

``He came back a week later and I said to him, You have a hell of a nerve,'' Myrna said. ``He laughed, I laughed, and from then on it's been pure love.

```Forget the job,' he said, 'You want to go out?' I said sure, and that's how it started.''

It's a special Valentine's Day relationship that Stanley and Myrna, a widow, are carrying on over at ONE Generation.

``They are two of the sweetest people you will ever meet, and their special relationship has served as an inspiration for a lot of our seniors who are widowed,'' said Danziger, director of ONE.

Because there's no age limit on love or second chances, Stanley and Myrna say. On Valentine's Day - or any day of the year.

``People who stay home and don't do anything are missing it,'' said Stanley, who works every Sunday at ONE's Encino Farmers Market, announcing the weekly specials on the bullhorn.

``So if there's one thing I want to tell everyone this Valentine's Day, it's to go out there today and find someone to love.

``Find her and treat her like a lady - like someone special.''

Myrna loves it when Stanley talks that way. She was married for 33 years herself and has been widowed about 2 1/2 years.

``On Valentine's, he gives me the most beautiful card,'' she said. ``It's like he took his heart and wrote it on paper.''
