LOVE At 'First Sight'. . . Twice‪!‬

My parent’s divorce, which resulted in our family’s meager survival in a poverty-stricken, Spanish-speaking town along the Southern Border of Texas, NEGATIVELY shaped my original view of marriage. A strong work ethic developed from age 10 when I became responsible for helping my poorly-educated, Hispanic mother feed our family of 5.

However, my "Love at First Sight" marriage to a classy British Lady, profoundly CHANGED my view of marriage. My 23 years of Military Service and 29 years of Civil Service ended with my retirement in Oklahoma City, OK at age 70. Then the loss of my spouse (after 57 years of marriage) brought my happy life to a screeching halt.

Thankfully, my 2nd “Love at First Sight” experience renewed my vitality for life! Judy was also a very classy lady who had been recently widowed after 62 years of marriage.
