Great story about friends growing old together.

There was nothing remarkable about them when they first began living together. Margaret Sugg moved into a Georgetown group house in 1967 that already included Nancy Fassett. A few years later, Barbara Fletcher joined them.
The part that amazes people: Almost five decades later, the three women are still roommates.
Theyve aged as a threesome, best friends in their 70s and 80s who continue to share their lives in a tidy brick duplex in Asbury Methodist Village, a retirement community in Gaithersburg, Md.
Its a relationship that has cemented into something as solid as any marriage, or any family....
