We first met the Farrers about two days after their arrival in San Diego to start their missionary service. We invited them to lunch at a place called Duke’s Old Fashioned Onion Burgers; when we all met there, Sister Farrer informed us that she’s allergic to onions. Hmm. Anyway, we’ve enjoyed spending time with them over the months, and this evening we had one last meal together.
They’re an amazing couple. They’ve been married almost sixty years and have served five missions. Elder Farrer is 85 years old but still going strong. He’s always grinning like he’s thinking of a good joke, and he has fashion tastes like my own.
