How did your love story begin?

I proposed in 8th grade (1963) She said “not yet" Her mother was not happy (but she came around!). We were best friends in high school and still are.

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

Hippie wedding in 1971. We wrote the service, quoting generously from "The Prophet." I played the amazing pipe organ at a great old church at the start. My rock band played at the end. Jane made my white (!!) jumpsuit. Her mother made her wedding dress. Instead of a wedding cake, we had a giant (24") chocolate chip cookie.

What would you do with $20,000?

Vacation around the world! Just the two of us (no kids or grandkids!!!!!) Well, maybe the grandkids . . .
