Herman Boone’s wife Carol Boone married him around 1960 and the couple have been together ever since. That is probably the longest marriage we’ve ever covered on this site. We’re talking about 55 plus years together. I don’t know whether to congratulate him or pour some beer out for him. It’s impressive to have found someone you can stay with for that long. Herman met Carol while he was coaching I.H. Foster High School in Virginia,…

Jack Lengyel’s wife Sandy Lengyel knows he’s not Matthew McConaughey. She still loves the guy. Jack himself has talked about how he won an ugly contest in college while he attended the University of Akron. Hey, Hollywood’s got a glut of pretty people and they’ve got to use them, okay? These inspirational sports movies are kinda’ doozies like that. What a story though- an entire football team wiped out in a tragic plane crash. It’s…
JB Bernstein’s wife Brenda Paauwei-Navori is the mother of their now five year-old daughter, Delphine. And for those who don’t know, JB Bernstein is at the center of the move Million Dollar Arm.

JB’s said he didn’t deserve to date models based exclusively on his looks. He’s…
Jim White’s wife Cheryl White was played by actress Maria Bello in the hit film, “McFarland, USA”. Coincidentally, the movie brought in over 45 million bucks with a budget of 17 million, so calling it a hit movie is more than fair. But the real Cheryl White gave birth to three daughters and not two (as portrayed in the movie). You assume Disney could afford to hire another actress for a third daughter. But maybe consolidating…
Rudy Ruettiger’s wife Cheryl Ruettiger lives in the city of Henderson, Nevada. She co-founded the Rudy Foundation with her husband and acts as the Executive Director. The actual mission statement of the organization is big and lofty. It talks about how it’s goals are to fulfill people’s dreams through “character, courage, contribution, and commitment”. I’ve become completely numbed and deadened to the ultra-ambiguousness of Foundation mission statements. So for me it’s par for the course to hear…
