My Parents' Love: From Haskell Indian Institute to Seventy Years

Their Love endured and grew in this world for more than 70 Years. They first met at Haskell Indian Institute in Lawrence, Kansas. ! My mother was 13 and my dad was 17. My father always said," When I first saw your mother, I knew she was the woman I was going to marry. " true love at first sight!

Eleven years later, in 1944, I came along ! Contrary to how I use to tease my mother, it was almost exactly 9 months after they married that I arrived. I lived on the campus of the Haskell Indian Institute for my first 3 years! Then to the Panama Canal. Beloved parents! Great and unforgetible memories!
