How did your love story begin?

We met on bicycles as kids, road to school each day together, and water skied in the summers. We have so many wonderful shared experiences over a life time together.

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

One of our favorite memories was a long Mediterranean cruise, eating fabulous food, and seeing countries we hadn’t experienced. We got happily lost trying to find an old church and discovered a tiny restaurant that served an amazing seafood salad.

What would you do with $20,000?

We would most likely travel with our grandchildren and use some of the money to upgrade our beach house.
