I Believe in True Love


The elderly, while slow and dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose.
Dateline: Masontown, PA. Kristin Georgi, 22, married Joe Hardy, 84, multimillionare founder of 84 Lumber who developed Nemacolin Woodlands and Resort.

The shock quotient is high on this one because of the age gap of three generations and because this is, after all, Western Pennsylvania, not Hollywood. "I saw their picture on TV," said Ronette Legrain, who lives in Brownsville. "She looks like his grandbaby. No -- his great-grandbaby."

In this town of 3,611, the new Mrs. Hardy is known as a pretty, petite and pleasant mother of a 3-year-old son. She met Mr. Hardy while working at the posh spa at Nemacolin.

She has told friends her love for Mr. Hardy is the real deal.

This is Mr. Hardy's third marriage. He was married for more than 50 years to his first wife, Dorothy, with whom he had five children. After the couple's divorce in 1997, he married Debra Maley, an 84 Lumber employee who was then 26, and they had two daughters before that marriage ended in divorce. Mr. Hardy was 74 at the time of the marriage.
