I love this story, especially the description of you as a hippie.

Oh, Mr B, a romantic nailbiter--my favorite kind of story! It's exactly like Lamar and me, only completely different, of course.

She got past the tie only to tie the knot. You two are wonderful.

You do know that Melanie Griffith was an intern at the Bloomington paper back then, right?

I am utterly enthralled and CAN'T WAIT to hear the rest of the story! Especially the part about slaying a torso???

Now that is a "meet cute" if I ever read one. Really, Bob? A terry cloth tie???

It was a lot easier to be a hippy in Austin, than was possible in Indy. Might have been the climate and all the music.

She must have been smart to have worked at the Houston Chronicle, the evening paper I grew up reading! Can’t wait for the next chapter. And then we need the story from Barbara’s perspective!
