happy anniversary.....

September 1, 1963, Linda Genevieve Fairchild became Mrs. Larry Wade Stapleton, Sr. Actually, Mr. Stapleton didn't have the "Sr." designation beside his name until about 10 1/2 months later when I came along.

They weren't high school sweethearts. In fact, they didn't meet until college. Dad was supposed to go to Virginia Intermont, but received a scholarship to Lincoln Memorial University at the last minute. A year later, Mom showed up on campus. Mom's roommate was Dad's roommate's girlfriend, so they set them up. Mom went to school year-round so that she could graduate in three years and with Dad. They were married after their junior year.

Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!
