High School sweethearts since 1991, now empty nest grandparents. We’ve faced tragedy and triumphs over the years, always as a team.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
In 1991, Dan was a student aid in Janna’s HS English class and graded her papers, usually with a teasing “F”. Our school sold “Valentine grams” as a fundraiser. The note and a candy could be delivered to any class. After months of a budding friendship and breakups with previous relationships, Janna took a chance and sent Dan Anonymous Valentine grams all week with little handwritten poems. After revealing herself on Valentine’s Day, Dan asked her out on a date.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?After nearly 35 years, there are so many to choose from. Buying our home, the births of our daughters, the births of our grandsons, graduations, weddings, vacations. I think our favorite and most recent would be a vacation to Ireland. Dan retired after 33 years in law enforcement and we celebrated with a 2 week trip to Ireland(with a long weekend in London). Just us. No kids, no pets, just us, celebrating the life we’ve built and have the privilege to live!!
What would you do with $20,000?Travel, definitely travel! We’ve always been frugal and practical and travel/vacations are a luxury that we have found we REALLY enjoy now that our children are grown and “off the payroll”. We have a long list of places we want to visit, be that a national park in our RV or an international voyage. We want to see as much of the world as we can, one place at a time!!
