We were married August 24, 1963.  Some would think that was a long time ago.For us, Marjorie and  me, those

60 years seem like yesterday. Seems we have sampled life deeply in all its twists and turns ..  super events.

Right from the moment we first danced at a Victoria College, U. if T  “get to know each other” dance  through all those 60 years.

Marjorie had lots of boyfriends to choose from.  Nice guys, I met most of them.  But the chemistry between us was like

a magnet.  We have been kindred spirits for those 60 years. 

We were lucky enough to have had two boys Kevin and Andrew, whose upbringing was an unending joy.   We tried to 

show them that love triumphs.   That the world in which we spend our life is a good place.  That life is meant to be shared.  We are social

animals.

.   Nice!   Now there is a word worth a comment.   Marjorie is a very nice person.  I felt that the first time I danced with her.   before I even knew her name.

And now sixty year later she remains one of the nicest persons I have ever met….and ever will meet.

She has enriched my life.

LITTLE GREEN APPLES

And i wake up in the morning with my hair down in my eyes and she says hi
And i stumble to the breakfast table while the kids are going off to school, goodbye.
And she reaches out and takes my hand and squeezes it and says how you feeling hon?
And i look across at smiling lips that warm my heart, and see my morning sun.

And if that’s not loving me, then all i’ve got to say,
God didn’t make the little green apples, and it don’t rain in indianapolis in the summer time.
And there’s no such thing as dr. seuss or disney land and mother goose, no nursery rhymes.
God didn’t make the little green apples, and it don’t rain in indianapolis in the summer time.
And when myself is feeling low, i think about her face and go and ease my mind.

Sometimes i call her up, at home, knowing she’s busy.
And ask her if she can get away, meet me and maybe we can grab a bite to eat.
And she drops what she’s doing and she hurries down to meet me, and i’m always late.
But she sits waiting patiently, and smiles when she first sees me, because she’s made that way.

And if that ain’t loving me, then all i’ve got to say,
God didn’t make the little green apples, and it don’t snow in minneapolis when the winter comes.
And there’s no such thing as make-believe, puppy dogs or autumn leaves, no bb guns.
God didn’t make the little green apples, and it don’t snow in minneapolis when the winter comes.
