Richard and Gina Brueske recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.

The couple married on July 8, 1967, in Seattle, Washington. They lived in Kent, Washington, where Richard worked at Boeing as an engineer for 33 years and Gina volunteered at numerous organizations and started her career at TOPS Club, Inc. After Richard's retirement in 1995, they decided to relocate to Coulee Dam in 2007 so he didn't have to travel so far for great hunting, fishing and the beautiful eastern Washington landscape.

The couple have three children: Ce (Tony), Chuck (Amy) and Tami (Kevin), and have 7 grandchildren. They celebrated their anniversary by revisiting their honeymoon trip to Harrison Hot Springs and Vancouver, Canada, but this time they traveled with their kids and grandkids!
