How did your love story begin?

Robert was a tennis instructor and Martie was going through a divorce and decided to take tennis lessons. We started out as great friends and she was not ready for a relationship, so I was in the “friend zone for over a year. Finally after listening to stories of her failed dates and my feelings escalating, I told Martie I couldn’t take it anymore and we need to either try being a couple or I have to get away from her for a while so I can get hold of my feelings. So she agreed. 25 years ago.

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

Raising Martie’s terminally ill child who is now 34 years old and a miracle with Cystic Fibrosis.

What would you do with $20,000?

Help our kids and take a much needed vacation that we have always dreamed of.
