Letters from Becky

Joe, an insecure, immature, 17 year old with a dismal dating history, asked gorgeous 16 year old Becky on a first date on April 1, 1972. The evening was chilly as they sat close holding hands at a stock car race, then they went to dinner before he took Becky home without giving her a goodnight kiss. He was on cloud nine but didn't expect Becky to look his way again. To his surprise, she accepted more dates and he soon worked up the courage to give her an Oklahoma Hello (kiss) and the rest is history. The love they shared for more than thirty-six years was a rare, special and precious thing in the universe.
