My wife and I met May 14, 1960 on a blind date. A week before, my best high school buddy and I had double-dated and had planned on doing that again. Then, my date broke her leg and couldn't go out, so my friend asked his girlfriend and she fixed me up with my now current wife.

We went to a movie and I can honestly say, I fell for her that night. I think it took her a while longer.

Anyway, we dated for three years, our folks became great friends as did our families. Then, we married, had seven children and just celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary in June. I think it's going to work.

Truthfully, I wouldn't trade a minute (well, okay, probably a few minutes) of the time and am even more in love with her now then I was back when we met.

I know I was very lucky ... she's the very best.
