- Long Ago
- I met Lora at Boise State University in an advertising design class. She had the most alluring looks and beautiful blonde hair I'd ever seen, and she was a gentle, shy girl. Just the combination that made me lose my balance and put butterflies in my stomach! It took me a month to work up the courage to ask her out.
- We lost track of each other after the semester ended. She said hi to me briefly a year later at the state fair and then I didn't see her again for a couple of decades until the spring of 2003.
- Reuniting
- She looked me up on a search engine that led her to my web site, so she wrote to me in October, 2002, and we got to know each other all over again.
- The following spring, after my precious brother Ron perished from cancer, I flew to Portland to visit Lora, and our love grew.
- Lora is in Phoenix with me now. We got married July 17, 2004, in a park in downtown Phoenix and the temperature was 103. Lora has two daughters, Sarah and Janessa, who live in Portland.
- Look at this picture that Lora painted for me.
- Here is a beautiful collage that Lora created.
