How did your love story begin?

I put a personal ad in our local paper since we did not have cell phones or social media that was a way to go. Our local paper would give the person that was interested in the phone number. Then that person would call and if you were interested you would answer back. We went out to dinner for a first date had so much in common I decided to delete the d. And just date George to see where it would go. We dated for 1 1/2 years after meeting in 1993. It was a wonderful courtship. In 1995 got wed.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

We've had so many but one of my favorites is he got to meet my dad before he died in1997. When I was born my dad was 50. George was well received into the family. He is my twin flame.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would give $5,000 to the Topeka Humane Society can the balance do a trip back to Japan to see his family.
