We hadn't met yet. They were visiting Leighs grandmother, who lived just up the road from my parents. My mom and her dad went through school together. Later that summer, we met at a church picnic. I won her a 4' tall stuffed animal. She still has it. That was 46 years ago. We were married 3 years later.
And yes, I'll ALWAYS recall the first time I saw the young lady who went on to be my wife.
