Couple at Woodstock in 1969 and 50 years later.
Jerry and Judy Griffin met when her car broke down on the way to the legendary music festival.
Jerry and Judy Griffin had what they call an "instant connection."
"At that moment Jerry, who was caravanning to the festival with a group of friends in two VW Beetles, thought his luck had definitely changed for the better. “I thought, ‘Okay, this is definitely unusual. We just picked up this really cute girl. And I’m going to Woodstock and I’ve got a tent and she doesn’t.
“For 50 years we’ve been looking for a picture of ourselves, and out of the blue one shows up,” he says. “We’d known each other less than 48 hours when that was taken.”
The festival was only three days, but the connection between the two lasted much longer ― they’ve been together ever since and now have two sons and five grandchildren.
