LOVE TAPS - Joseph Conway married his bride when she was only thirteen years old. Conway, an army master sergeant, taught his wife Morse Code while they were courting. The couple would tap out messages to each other, sometimes in front of their families and friends. The Conways celebrated their 71st wedding anniversary in Dublin in 1960. Both confined to wheelchairs, the Conways renewed their wedding vows. Conway, 93 years old, deaf and blind, was oblivious to the outside world. Mrs. Conway reached out and tapped in dots and dashes, "We are still sweethearts." Conway, put his hand on his wife's knee and tapped, "Sure, we are still sweethearts." Appleton Wisconsin Post Crescent, February 18, 1960.
