The Storyteller |
 Engaged!In 1969, if you lived in a college dormitory, this was what happened when you got engaged. Gary surprised me with a ring (after telling me he couldn't afford one, but secretly working at a bowling alley to make enough to purchase it.) His brother, Paul, got married in Cedar Rapids in October, and he was in the wedding and I was his guest. The Friday night before, he drove up to UNI. We went for a drive and he asked me to marry him. I said yes.
Did you capture all the warmth, The glow, the joy, Utter soaring ecstacy, All beauty of our love? Did you concentrate it, and set it thus In a band of silver? That must be why it sparkles, dances, All light, all shine, Little mirror of our love.
