'Love finds a way' - a bond that overcame decades of separation

Jeanne Gustavson met Steve Watts as an undergraduate at university in Chicago, but her family disapproved of their interracial relationship. The pressure became too much, and Jeanne broke up with Steve, but she never forgot him, and decades later she tracked him down. Steve was living with disabilities in a nursing home, but they realised they were still in love. Jeanne fought to get Steve back to her home so she could care for him there, and now, four decades after the start of their relationship, they're living under the same roof for the first time. Jeanne and Steve spoke to Emily Webb.
