My parentÕs divorce, which resulted in our familyÕs 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 ÒLove at First SightÓ marriage to a classy British Lady and meeting her loving family profoundly CHANGED my view of marriage as we reared our three children. My 23 years Military Service and 29 years 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 ÒLove at First SightÓ experience renewed my vitality for life! Judy was also a very classy lady who had been Recently-Widowed.
