NORTH PORT — Andrey Swystun of Norfolk, Va., had no idea what to buy his parents, Roman and Orysia of North Port, for their 65th wedding anniversary on Feb. 23.
“We held a really big party at their 60th, and we were crazy enough to put together a slide-show presentation using PowerPoint — a six-part slide show for each 10 years. It was like a ‘Star Wars’ theme — ‘A long, long time ago …’ — with pictures from each decade,” Andrey said. “We had a blast doing it, but we couldn’t think of anything to give them then.”
