Can it be? Today,
August 21, 2017, is the 50th anniversary of Barb’s and my marriage. I guess we are doing something right as it has been a great
half century for us.
We met in 1965 in
Cincinnati, Ohio a couple of months after I was discharged from the U. S. Air
Force in September of that year. It was
a classic case of me falling for the proverbial “girl next door.” She didn’t live next door went I went into
the service in 1961 but miraculously she had moved in with her family while I
was gone.
Since we were both students at the University of Cincinnati,
we drove together to school many times and after she got her teaching degree in
1967 we got married and moved to Missouri where she began her teaching career. At the same time, I completed by bachelor’s degree
at the University of Central Missouri which was near the base where I had been stationed
in the USAF.
After my graduation in 1969 I spent a career in sales to the
grocery store industry in the Kansas City area.
At the same time Barb taught elementary school near our home in Johnson
County, Kansas near Kansas City. By 1989, we retired to
Scottsdale, Arizona where we have lived since.
It’s hot in the summer but the winters are great.
