They came from Riverdale, where he worked as a mechanical engineer and she was a nurse. They both retired on the same day in 1999, and have thoroughly enjoyed retirement. They have a trip planned later this year down the Danube from Amsterdam to Budapest. Mr. and Mrs. Dehlman met on a blind date, and they were both still in school when they married. They moved to Atlanta in 1973. They said that they do a lot together and they like to travel. They agreed that they are thoroughly enjoying their retirement together.
