Love Story: Our love story began on New Year’s Eve 1975. It was Christmas break of my freshman year at Midland.

In the hustle and bustle of the party, I lost my contact lens. Instantly a tall, blonde, handsome sophomore came to my rescue and asked if he could help. Before I...Read more

Anniversary Date: November 29, 1974

Love Story: Our first date was on a Friday the 13th in November of our freshman year. Kathy invited me to an inter-sorority dance in the dining hall.
