We had both just broken up with boyfriends and girlfriends of about six months or so. One of her sorority sisters and one of my fraternity brothers who were engaged set us up on a blind date in the spring of ‘69. It was for the Ole Miss spring football game (Red/Blue game) and our post game fraternity party. Yee haa!

Married in July ‘72 a couple of days after I was commissioned and two weeks before I started flight school. Fortunately for me, she’s still sitting by me on her end of the couch. Don’t know what I would have done, or what I would do, without her.
