September 18, 1966 was a day of transition, being the day, I met my wife! Actually, the Sunday “Gazette Mail” newspaper of Charleston, West Virginia had a headline- Transition. Trivia: If you work at $9.13/hr for a year, your salary would be $19,000!
We’ve lived in 22 different homes over the years, but maybe I am getting it mixed up with having been in 22 different countries!
Thanks, Darling for knocking me off of my feet (College Sweethearts)! You can tell numbers, so I was tickled to find out that we courted for exactly 1,000 days before marriage.
