Don Varnadoe called the upcoming anniversary trip he was preparing to embark on with his wife, Margie, the "trip of a lifetime." Zach Schneider was traveling with "the love of his life."
Varnadoe, who worked as a real estate agent in St. Simons Island, Georgia, had been looking forward to it for months, watching train videos at work in anticipation. The couple would be celebrating 50 years of marriage, said Robert Kozlowski, managing broker for Coldwell Banker Access Realty, where Varnadoe worked.
At a sales meeting with his team last week, Varnadoe led a prayer -- his usual ritual in those conferences -- and added an unexpected note at the end.

The US State Department on Tuesday imposed visa sanctions on a former top European Union official and employees of organizations that combat disinformation for alleged censorship – sharply ratcheting up the Trump administration’s fight against European regulations that have impacted digital platforms, far-right politicians and Trump allies, including Elon Musk.
