We almost attended college at the same time-me, from 69 to 73. i had my close circle of friends, too, and we still keep up with one another! i drnk way too much. The difference is, God blessed me with honors for the3 four years! I did not deserve it! And I saw LOGSN'S RUN with the then-girl of my dreams. Nothing came out of it!

    And you saw Farrah Fawcett.
    Life was good.

    Sorry for all my typos. My hand trembles. Farrah had nothing to do with that.

What a wonderful story of college days and your meeting up with Debbie. Of course - and I've just figured it (I'm very slow!) - it's your anniversary today and I bet you've cooked up a treat to celebrate! You write so naturally and with real charm and humour that is an absolute delight to read. Congratulations to you both! Debbie

    It?s not our wedding anniversary, just the anniversary of our first date almost one-half century ago.

    Thank you for reading.

Well happy anniversary. I love stories withe happy endings. You are to be congratulated for not only getting the girl but also for remember what she was wearing. That is a sure sign you were smitten. 1976 doesn't seem long ago to me. Hard to believe it has been 47 years.

Aww! You remember the actual date! You're so sentimental. Honestly, I cannot remember the date or even when the first "date" was because mostly we just studied together or I typed his papers. Lol. Congratulations on finding that perfect one!!

So... did you get married? :)

Your chapter is engaging and easy to follow, the kind that readers want more and can't put down.  I'm curious to find out what happens next!  Well done.

    Sounds like me and my 6 year hiatus. I joined 2009, out from 2016 to 2022.
    Welcome back.
