In 1960 I went to work the summer before starting college. I met a really cute guy but he was taken. He wanted to know if I would go on a blind date with his friend. I figured why not? He was mature, had a car and a job. All pretty important to seventeen year old. I guess it worked out, 46 years later, three children and so far five grandkids later we are still together. People say we now look alike. YIKES. Great stories.

After a divorce from 24 years of marriage, I knew the things I wanted in a mate -- understand my work, be artistic, be happy, be outdoorsy, like to travel -- but I didn't go looking for him. Maybe because I didn't have any deal-breakers it was easier. I think making my list made it obvious to me when the right guy showed up. 10 years of a very happy, artistic, outdoorsy marriage, and counting.... Gee, my list did the trick!

She was on vacation in Rhode Island. I was in the Navy stationed in Newport. We met one night, while she was out with some girlfriends in Newport. I asked her out on a date for the following week. She said yes. We went out to dinner. I proposed before taking her back to her aunt's where she was staying. She didn't commit. The next night we went out again. I proposed again. She said yes. She went home to S.C. We married in December 1968. We counted up the days we were in each others' company before our wedding and determined it was 20 days total over the six months since we had met. Number 40 coming up this December. I met my wife in July 1968. She was on vacation in Rhode Island. I was in the Navy stationed in Newport.
