Subject: RE: BS: How Did Your Parents Meet?
Jerry, that's a circuitous, well-told and hard act to follow!
A mutual former high school English teacher set them up: On Mom's 20th birthday, teacher invited future-Mom over to have her portrait painted. Teacher also invited future-Dad, aged 23 and in the Navy, to tell future-Mom jokes to keep her laughing for the portrait. The rest is 53 years of history that ended with Dad's last breath.
