Perhaps I should add that when I got off Active Duty with the Army in 1969 she was faculty at the college I went back to to finish my BA. Naturally, as a student I started dating a faculty. The other faculty accepted that and I attended faculy "do's". This now puts both her and I in the college's "Retired Faculty" association.

I highly doubt a student could get away with dating (and then marrying) a faculty member these days.
