. Larry Dilg, 75, is an actor and musician. They were first paired up through Operation Match in 1966, when they were 18 and 19, respectively, and later got together in 1974.I come from a Catholic family, 12 years of Catholic education. I’m at Smith College, first year of secular education ever — really a liberation. It’s orientation. I have a “big sister” who’s from my hometown, Rochester. She invited us up for brownies.

Jeff Serotte is 80 years old and a retired social worker. He and his wife, Brenda, who died in 2018, met through Operation Match in 1966.
