Thomas Stranghoner and Doris (Sander) Stranghoner were married 50 years ago on Sept. 7, 1963 at Grace Methodist Church in Wichita.
They met while attending Friends University and began their teaching careers in Gypsum. They moved to Iola in 1967 to teach in the Iola school system. Tom was the Industrial Arts teacher and coach at the junior high and Doris taught in the business department at the high school. They are still involved in farming and ranching.
A family dinner is tonight at Terradyne Country Club in Wichita hosted by their sons Todd and wife Liz, Wichita, and Eric and wife Rene’, Grand Prairie, Texas. The Stranghoners have three grandchildren and two step-granddaughters.
