		Anniversary- Kelsey, Scott and Faye 3 Scott Kelsey asked Faye Townsend on a date to the high school play. “She already had a date,” said Scott, “but she broke it and went with me. When we arrived at the play, we sat behind her jilted date.” That happened when they were juniors at Topeka High School. Scott and Faye Kelsey have now been married 60 years. They were born only one block apart in Oakland, which was later annexed into the city of Topeka. They met in the second grade. During college, Scott proposed to Faye on a country road that led to Berryton. Their wedding was a simple one in the parlor of the preacher’s house. For a honeymoon, they took the Santa Fe train to Kansas City. “It was during wartime, and I had to stand up all the way to Kansas City,” Scott said. He recalls that friends held a shivaree, pushing them both down an Oakland street in a wheelbarrow, with others following them creating a racket with noisemakers. Scott advises married couples to “Take the bitter with the sweet,” noting that Faye only once hurled a pan at him. That was for telling her that, in regard to dinner, “That's not like Mama cooked it.”
