 1.  Bob was born in South Bend, IN, and I was born in  Long Beach, CA
 2.  We went to the same high school, at different times, go Jackrabbits!  (Long Beach Poly)
 3.  We are 4 years apart in age, we met because we were both active in Scouting.
 4.  Bob asked me to marry him on our 4th date.  In ancient times, the '60's, you dated more than one person at a time, and he was tired of waiting for the next date.

 7.  We bought our first house in 1968, it was going to be a fixer upper, and stayed there 30 years.
 8.  We bought our second house in 1998, are are still here.  As much as we don't like to move, we'll probably die here, in about 30 or 40 years.
 9.  I met and talked to Micky Mantle and Muhammad Ali.
10.  One of my grandsons thinks I'm really smart, which is nice; but I know the rest of the family is way smarter than I am.
