My father recalls being attracted to my mother’s pretty and sincere face. The night they met, he was hanging out with his buddies and she was hanging out with her girlfriends. My mother attended Edgewater High School and my father attended rival Mountair High School. The conversation that night blossomed into a lifelong marriage and friendship. It was very apparent to me growing up that my parents loved each other very much. After graduation, my father joined the Air Force to avoid being drafted into the Army. My mother was still in high school. While my father was on leave a year later, they decided to get married at a small ceremony at my grandmother Kaylor’s house. My mother traveled wherever duty took him, having her first child, Russ, in 1954. She was not even eighteen when she first gave birth. Once my father got out of the Air Force, the family of three came back to Denver, and my father took a job at a lumber company where his father worked. After he had saved enough money, they bought a house in Edgewater.
