also a member In a rock and roll
band and one day Ollie came to one
of our rehearsals with her boy
friend who was going to try out for
the band. It just seems like our
meeting was one of those things that
happened. We dated about six
months before we married,” re
called Mr. Perry.
What began as a short courtship
has evolved into a life-long com
mitment between Clinton and Ollie
Perry. They would be the first to tell
you that not every day has been
easy, but despite that, every day
that they have been united as hus
band and wife has certainly been
worth it.
The Perrys, it seems, have
learned the secret to a happy mar
riage. But it’s one secret that they
are willing to share with any cou
ple contemplating marriage. “I
strongly feel that you have to take
the good with the bad. You have to
work together in order to make your
marriage work and you should never
stay mad at one another,” com
mented Mrs. Perry.
In Mr. Perry’s opinion, it is im
portant to keep your problems be
hind closed doors. “I’ve found that
taking your problems to outsiders is
discuss your problems among your
selves and confide in one another.
And never forget that it takes two to
argue.”
In celebration of the Perrys’ silver
anniversary the couple recently re
newed their wedding vows. The
ceremony, which took place at the
United House of Prayer, was of
ficiated by Apostle N. Rhyne Jr.
The bride was given in remar
riage by her son, Richard Perry.

daughter of the bride and groom,
and Janie Nelson; best man-James

chancellor for academic affairs at
UNCC, and Dr. James Law, vice
