We first met during 1968 but only noticed each other in 1969
We exchanged wedding rings on Christmas Day 1969

Susan's mother moved in in 1983, a year after Susan's father died.
At one time, for a year, we had the three of us plus Steven and Marie and Trudie and Lloyd when they were between houses.
