Don H. Wall was a 21-year-old farmer helping his father on their large ranch in Raymond, Alberta, when a young "schoolmarm," or teacher, moved in next door.

His father told him, "There's a fine- looking girl." The young man agreed and didn't waste any time before calling on the young woman, Mary Boyson."We fell in love," said Brother Wall.

They traveled from Raymond to Salt Lake City where they were married in the Salt Lake Temple on April 2, 1913.

"Life's been wonderful ever since," he said in a telephone interview from his home in Salem, Ore. "It's been 77 years and we have yet to have our first quarrel. We've had disagreements, but we don't get angry and fight."

This year, the couple will celebrate both their 77th year of marriage and their 99th birthdays. The Walls have been featured three times before in the Church News' "Milestones of Togetherness."

A native of Santaquin, Utah, he remembers as a 10-year-old boy driving a team of horses pulling a load of logs to his father's sawmill. Later, he and his father operated a 2,000-acre ranch in Raymond, Alberta. After marriage, he continued to farm, and also worked in real estate.

He served as bishop of the Salem Ward from 1939-47, and as high councilor. Sister Wall is a native of Oxford, Idaho, and is known for her quilts, and her devotion to her family. She is a former Relief Society president.

"I'd rather talk about the gospel than anything else," he said. "It is the most wonderful thing I have had in my life." He still shares the gospel with neighbors. "If I get a chance to tell them

about the gospel, I try not to let it slip by," he said.

The Walls have six children - five daughters and a son - and all have served missions, and are active in the Church. Four of the daughters who live in the Portland, Ore., area are ordinance workers in the Portland temple.

The Walls also have 36 grandchildren, 132 great-grandchildren, and 22 great-great grandchildren. Their posterity has served about 50 missions. One daughter, Marjorie Folsom, and her husband, Max P., have served three missions together.

Brother Wall remains active, gardening and attending Church regularly. Last year, he served as a Primary greeter. The children still surround him when he at
