Petra and Steve Pulos Remarried After 50 Years

They came, one from Mexico the state of Chihuahua, the other from Argos, Greece. Her family came to the United States when she was a small child; he entered at the port of New York in October 1907.
Fate held that their paths were to cross and at Cable, California where he worked for the Southern Pacific as section foreman, she lived with her mother and brother; her brother also employed by the railroad. On April 24, 1920 at Bakersfield, California they became husband and wife. .
.Nine children were born to them, seven boys and two girls; one son Peter lost his life in France during, World War II.
They first came to Mojave: in 1924. After a few moves from one railroad town to another they again chose to live here and have remained ever since. Many are the memories and varied the stories they have to tell about the early days and happenings in this area.
So it is that on Saturday, April 25th at St. Francis Caththolic Church, Steve and Petra Pulos renewed the vows made, so many years before. The Golden Jubilee Mass was officiated by Father James Maloney. A reception for them was held at the parish hall, and it was the privilege of family and friends to extend congratulations and wjsh them many more years of happiness together
