How did your love story begin?

"Dec. 29, 1950, we had our first date. When I went to Marys home to talk to her, she told me, she already had a date for that night. I told her to break it, because if she did not go with me, I would never ask her again, She knew I really meant that. She told me to break the date for her.I just informed the young man that came to pick her up, she was going with me. 4 months and 12 days later, we were married and still happy."

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

"74 years With the same woman. We have had a wonderful life. She never threatened to go back to mama and I never had to sleep on the couch. Yes we have had dis-agreements but never a knock down drag out fight. .We both know that God put us together. I never thought of going into ministry but now that has been over 65 years. 4 children, 9 grand children, about 22 great grands and 3 great, greats. Been a good life. Still have some to go also. Life that is."

What would you do with $20,000?

I've signed up my 94 and 91 year old grandparents for this opportunity. Their love story should be known and shared! They deserve all the more happiness!
