LILLIAN and LEE LIBERMAN of New Haven will celebrate their 73rd wedding anniversary on Feb. 26. The couple met as teenagers in the summer of 1940, when they were both spending time at Woodmont Beach in Milford. They were married four and a half years later.

Until their retirement some years ago, Lee worked for Metropolitan Life Insurance and Lil worked as a dental office assistant. Active in Jewish life, they are members of Westville Synagogue and the Orchard Street shul, where Lee is a past president. They are also members of the Hebrew Free Loan and Burial Association, the Ethnic Heritage Center of New Haven, and the Golan Chapter of ARMDI (American Red Magen David for Israel).

The Libermans are the parents of three daughters: Anita Silver of Berlin, Kathi Liberman of Rocky Hill, and Laurie Becker and her husband Benny of Orange. They are the grandparents of Jennifer Cavey and her husband Joe, Brian Silver and his wife Becky, Maggie Becker and Tim Becker; and the great-grandparents of Ryan and Will Cavey and Matthew and Libby Silver.

They plan to celebrate their anniversary with their family.
