Covid-19 keeps teenage sweethearts waiting after 50-year separation
Hi neighbours, here's one to pull on the heart strings...
Teenage sweethearts who rekindled their romance after more than 50 years – and nearly 20,000 kilometres apart – are still waiting to reunite thanks to Covid-19.
Jock Anderson, 74, and Elizabeth Robertson, 73, were teenage sweethearts after attending Macandrew Intermediate School in Dunedin together in the 1960s.
The pair reignited their spark in 2019 after half a century apart when Anderson travelled to Scotland for a holiday and got in touch with Robertson, who moved there in 1972.
“As soon as I saw her, I knew the spark was still there,” Anderson said.
Their romantic story has been featured on The Times and BBC in the UK.
