Saturday, April 13, 1974, I was flying an Aero Commander 520 (oldie but goodie, serial # 18) from Chicago Midway to Valparaiso, Indiana.

Pretty lady passenger was sitting in co-pilot seat. Took me a while to work up the nerve to ask if she was free for dinner.

Today, May 18 2020, will be our 41st wedding anniversary.

Christmas 1974, I gave her a piece of jewelry, a ring that was a love knot woven with one strand of yellow gold, one strand of white gold.

I sent the ring to David Truong so that he could see it in detail and duplicate the design for matching earrings.

She loves them. I served them up with breakfast this morning.

She might even tolerate me for another year.

Congratulations!



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Earrings look awesome. I love the fact you’re still in love with your bride after all these years.

You were flying a plane and meeting your wife, about six months before I was born.

Vtail, Did you eat supper with Jesus and the twelve disciples?

I had been a commercial pilot / flight instructor for about ten years prior to that date.

Different religion. Well, maybe not, I think that He was the first Jew to convert to Christianity (there's a joke about that). A musician friend of mine who wrote a song about a carpenter, said: "Remember, Jesus was a Jew even though He had a Puerto Rican name."
