81 Year Old High School Sweethearts Reunite After 62 Years Apart

In 2006 Danielle Lurie made a touching short video about two 81 year old high-school sweethearts who reunite after 62 years apart.

On Jet Blue’s flight 304 from Long Beach, CA, to Washington, D.C. Danielle Lurie met an 81-year-old man named Jack who told her he was flying across the country to reunite with his high school sweetheart, Betty, whom he hadn’t seen in 62 years. Lurie had her camera in her carry-on bag and filmed the reunion at Washington’s Dulles Airport.
