Double-dating at the bowling alley w/ their respective best friends after WWII. Dad fell for Mom (who he claims flirted w/ him) & protested all the way to the altar that he wasn't ready to get married. Now, more than 50 years later, they are still together. Gave me a stable childhood & have given me emotional & financial support as needed, through the years. I'm thankful they're my folks. As it happens, I'm leaving in 2 days to visit them in their home state of Missouri.

best,
