How did your love story begin?

We met due to the neglect/misogyny of a friend. Jeff came to the copy store where I worked to make copies of his resume (yes it was that long ago). Jeff’s friend was the assistant manager. When Jeff got there, we all gathered around and his friend introduced the other two employees, (both men) but skipped me. So I stepped forward, shook his hand and introduced myself. Caught his attention forever!

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

In the late spring of 1990, we were in St. Lucia at a private home on our honeymoon. We were sitting in the open air living area when an earth quake struck. The tiled floor rolled and the main stone wall rippled. All the alcohol was on a shelf on that wall and smashed on the floor smh. 6.1 No one hurt. Just a great story.

What would you do with $20,000?

We moved to a tiny cottage at the beach three years ago that desperately needs work. We would make our house more energy efficient and inviting inside and out.
