Anniversary Date: February 9, 1974

Love Story: On a beautiful day in September 1966, freshman Marsha Anderson took off her tennis shoes and socks, and entered the fountain then contained in the relatively new Science Complex. She was grabbing coins from the wishing well, to stuff into the coin operated laundry at Beegle Hall. When Rick appeared and noticed a beanie wearing frosh in the fountain, he knew something was amiss, so he inquired "what are you doing in the fountain?" Quick thinking frosh Anderson replied "Oh, I'm trying to get enough money together to get ice cream at Baskin & Robbins, would you like to go with me?" Not one to turn down such a great proposal, Myers accepted, and it was the first date of many. On and off, they dated over the next 8 years, and were married February 9, 1974. Rick and Marsha celebrated their 43rd anniversary this month, and enjoy living on a lake near Fremont, and in the colder months, in Palm Springs, California. Even though the wishing well is no longer a water holding vessel, the memories of that wonderful day persist.
