Ernie and Rose Pinkston will be observing two special occasions on June 30 when they celebrate, along with family and friends, Ernie’s 90th birthday and the couple’s 70th wedding anniversary.

Ernie Pinkston was born to Ethal (Archambo) and Herman Pinkston on Feb. 14, 1929, in an old St. Joe house, in Flat River — the area where the Park Hills Social Security office is located today.
