As a college freshman, on February 12, 1960, I was manipulated into going on a blind date with another college freshman, who was also manipulated in the same way. Her name was Martha Longmire.
Arriving at Mynders Hall to meet my date, I immediately realized I had actually seen her a couple of times on campus and I liked what I saw!
We got along well enough on that "forced" Friday night outing that I invited her to go to church with me the following Sunday-- Valentine's Day. Picking her up at the dorm, I handed her one long-stem red rose that cost me a grand total of $.25.
Having been married to that woman for nearly 49 years, a "room full of roses" would not adequately express my admiration, appreciation, and affection.
I love you.
