Met her in church in Fairbanks in 68, I was 12 and she was about to turn 15. Her family had just moved there and we were just visiting. My family moved to the Anchorage area in 71 and we met again in church summer camp. In 74 I told her I was going to marry her, after I got out of the Army in 78 I finally got her to agree. Been married 45 years
