How did your love story begin?

We met in 1995 when I was 16 and she was 13. Both on separate family camping trips 7 hours from our home towns. Learned we only lived 10 miles away from each other. We hung out together for a the week. I tried to make hers and mine first kiss happen but she left before it would happen. Never got her number or last name. Didn’t see each other again till 20 years later, after my military service and separate marriages. Our daughters ended up on the same softball team together.

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

Our favorite memories are getting engaged, married, and taking our kids back to the same camping area where we first met. But also it is our saddest place because it is the last place we were all together as a family. Two of our daughters passed in a car accident on the way home from our trip.

What would you do with $20,000?

If we won we would put half away for our other two kids’ college fund and the other half would to donation for our daughter’s passing. Our 15 years olds high school drama class. And our 21 year old school where she taught kids with special needs. Thank you for this opportunity
