My Father c. 1946.
Dad came to Duke University Divinity School from a dusty little town in the Texas Panhandle. When he saw Mom the first time he declared, “That’s the woman I’m going to marry.” Their storybook romance lasted over sixty years.

Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance. To fix this, our staff finally decided to allow only members who SignIn to read the stories. Membership is free and easy, and ensures our club is safe, secure, and family-friendly!

Yes, I am blessed to have these photos. The two photos, full size, hung in frames in my parents’ bedroom, for as far back as I can remember. Beside them was a copper engraving my father had made with a house blessing. I can’t tell you how comforting and nurtured I felt just seeing those three framed pictures all my life.

Thanks for your comment, Melissa. Yes, my parents were so romantic that it embarrassed me when I was a teenager. They were always holding hands and looking into each other’s eyes. When I was older, I loved it. Like you and your Dad’s curls, which I will comment on in a minute.
What a brilliant story about the love at first sight. I am sure that you will cherish these photos. They are brilliant memories to share.

What a beautiful love story! Your father looks like a happy man, approachable and kind. I’m sure he was an ideal minister 🙂
Lovely photo. Your Dad certainly knew his mind. I’m so glad their marriage stood the test of time.
