Mr. Richard “Dickie” Myler, 87 & Mrs. Billie Myler, 87Dickie and Billie Myler have been married for 57 years and currently enjoy living at Paul Spring Community in Alexandria. Billie likes to reminisce of the time she first met Dickie while they were both teachers at Hollin Hills Elementary School. One afternoon, Billie helped Dickie escort two students home. The next day, Dickie slipped a note on Billie’s desk not only thanking her but also asking her out for tea.

Little did they know, almost 60 years after they first met, they would be moving into their old elementary school! In 1988, Hollin Hills Elementary was converted to Paul Spring Community, the same school where Dickie and Billie both worked and met! They both continue to live their lives actively engaged in purposeful living and lifelong learning.
