How did your love story begin?

We met at a bar in Chicago in 1984 . Chris was bartending the day shift. I would stop in on my way home from work. We started talking and we went out on our first date and never looked back from there. 40 years later we are still loving our life together.

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

There are so many, but one that always stands out is when we were starting out, we would walk home when she got off of work. It was our time to just be together to enjoy each other's company. One night we were walking thru the park as we always did, it started to rain. We just stopped in the middle of the park and danced in the rain it seemed like the most natural thing to do, after the dance ended, we just walked the rest of the way home hand in hand. Perfectly Happy in our little world.

What would you do with $20,000?

I should say something responsible, but I going to say we would probably take our daughter Kim and Granddaughter Hailey on a trip somewhere and then spend the rest of it making more beautiful memories.
