It took only seconds for Mario Maya, 61, and his wife of 41 years, Janie Maya, 59, to fall in love.

It is those 41 years of happiness and togetherness that are truly inspirational, seeing that they were wed at the age of 19 and 17. “We met when I was a senior and she was a freshman in high school,” said Mario, owner of MJ Screen Printing in San Benito. “She was walking by my car with a group of friends, and I honked at them.”

Janie seemed to recall that day as if it was yesterday.
