Everybody said it wouldn't work. Yeah, it’s like eerie how well it works. People the same age don’t last.

I never said hello to a strange girl in my life. But I jumped up and said, 'Hi, I'm Dick.' There's something about her that got me.
We're so grateful. Our house did get hit by the Franklin fire, but in the scheme of things, we got very lucky.
