YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Two pen pals with a long relationship on paper have elevated their friendship to real life after 42 years of correspondence. George Ghossn, 56, of Long Island, headed to the San Diego home of Lori Gertz, 54, for a visit four decades in the making. When she was 12 and he was 14, they became pen pals through a chain letter. "I think you write to six people and you're supposed to get hundreds back and I got one," she said. They wrote each other about once a month for the next 42 years. #InsideEdition
