The Story

Tomorrow Wade and I will celebrate our 41st Wedding Anniversary. Forty One Years, close to half a century. When I married Wade I had no expectation of 41 years. Now I expect 50+.

Wade and I was a fix up. I'm sure you all have heard the story. My Aunt Vera wanted me to meet her manager. He was divorced and had 2 boys. I was divorced and had 1 boy. Not the best scenario, but nothing ventured you know. She insisted I come to the store to meet him. They worked at KMart on Cleveland Avenue in Atlanta. Wade Lewis meet Donna Mitchell (ex) and my aunt promptly disappeared. Wade and I talked, he invited me to dinner. I then I told him I would have to call my Mother. I was 26 and I had to call my Mother. Well she was babysitting for me.
That was in October 1971, we were married January 29, 1972.
