The two of us have experienced many joys and hardships in our (almost) 47 years of marriage. We’re bonded for life!
We would like to thank you for supporting Mary and Russ in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
At a dorm dance at SFSU - Russ asked me to dance to the song “Takin’ Care of Business”. We’ve been together ever since!
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?The birth of our granddaughter! I’m a nurse, so I was pitching in - and even Russ, the Gramps-to-be, was in the corner (so my daughter-in-law’s modesty was protected) rooting us on. It was a long day - but such an amazing gift when our granddaughter Cali was born! She’s 5 years old now, and we are her only babysitters, so we make more fantastic memories every day. We swim, do art projects, & play all day! The births of our 2 sons was wonderful, too - but let’s just say not quite as fun for me.
What would you do with $20,000?Contribute to Cali’s college fund, do some home repairs, and go on a cross-country trip in our Airstream!
