How They Met...

My grandfather, John, at the time was dating a girl from the mountain. His best friend, Reed, would was dating my grandmother's sister, Mary Joe. my grandmother, Margie, was out watering the flowers one afternoon when the boys came to pick up Mary Joe. They left on their date as expected but the next time Mary Joe asked if Margie would go out on a date with John, since the last date he had stopped seeing the girl on the mountain.

Margie replied, "OKAY, but only this once. He's very arrogant!" ending with a face she makes...

They got married on Christmas Eve 1949

p.s. Mary Joe and Reed also married.
