How did your love story begin?

I had decided to move to California to pursue a career in Cinematography so I went to the local bank to take all my money out. The teller that waited on me asked why I was leaving the bank as I had been a frequent customer. I told her I was going to California to be a Movie Maker and was looking for a school that would give me the required skills. She said she liked the idea of going to the west coast and really wished she could go on this trip to see more of the California Dream. She went !

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

Birth of our Baby Girl that was a miracle as my wife had two sets of sexual organs and getting pregnant was almost impossible. Plus with a small uterus it was hard for her to go to term. She gave birth to a tiny baby girl with multiple health problems but who grew into a World Class Pole Vaulter. Olympic Trials 2000, 2004, 2008 Amy Linnen U of Arizona, KU

What would you do with $20,000?

We would like to donate this to the local school here in Hawaii. Punahou is the most wonderful educational center in the universe. They help create special people that will go out and make our world a better place. ( President Obama was a graduate ) Our daughter teaches at this school and loves every minute she is there.
