I love to tell this story, I picked him up as a hitchhiker!
not as bad as it sounds. He was on his class trip at a local state park and I was there with my sis. We went for ice cream at the closest town and on the way back to the lake - some were wanting a ride back down to the lake - about 2 miles. Short story - I picked 3 up - mine was one. After discussion, we were going to the same college and had three classes together out of 5 the following fall. we were married 2 yrs later and have been for 40 yrs.
