Our date was different. When we got to Pizza Hut, the air was out, they had no clean silverware, no ice, and do you think we left to go some where else???? NOOOOOOOO, we stayed, I don't know why!! I guess it was because they only had enough money for pizza. We still had a good time and Keith and Stan kept having hand signals. Stan and I enjoyed talking to one another and getting to know each other. Their Sunday School Class was having a party the following Saturday and he asked if I would come back, I said yes without even thinking about it. The middle of the week I received a letter from him, telling me how much he enjoyed meting me and was looking forward to the weekend. At this time with out him knowing I was talking to Dad and Mom about moving to Lawton, so I could go back to school at Cameron
University. I was working on my Elementary Degree. When Stan picked me up to go to the party if was acting like he wished I was not there. They had a softball game and he hardly spoke to me, no body knew me, so I was ticked off at him, and wished I had stayed in Texas. When he took me home before he left, I told him I was moving to Lawton, so I could go back to school. This is what really is funny, he says "Just because you are moving to Lawton,don' expect me to call, I am not interested in a relationship," I told him not to worry I wanted to go back to college. August,2006 Dad, Keith helped me load up my belongings and headed to Lawton. I had to stop and get a green card before they would let me legally move into OK. I had to hurry to get my transcripts
classes, books and get settled in my new surroundings. It seemed every night at *pm the phone would ring and it was always Stan. My wonderful family finally started calling my name to answer the phone. We would always talk about an hour. We saw each other Sunday's and Wednesday's. I was beggining to think that there are some good things in OK.

Dad, Mom, Keith, & Kim went home to Lawton after the funeral. I was officially on my own living with my friend in Fort Worth and working full time as a Proof Operator in a bank. July 4, weekend I took the bus to Lawton for the first time. All of my grandparents were there so we had a great time. On Sunday I went to church and met the Minister and his wife, their children were out of town. Their oldest son Steven was married to Betty May 8,1976, so Stan, Clarice & Robert Paul went to see them. I also was at my best friend Renee's wedding who married Richard May 8, 1976. This is the first of many amazing likness in our relationship. I went back home and started planning another trip to Lawton, yes, I was homesick. I decided what weekend was best for me and called my cousin Susan to see if she wanted to go with me since this was my first road trip to Lawton. At the first of that week Keith called to see if I wanted to go on a blind date and double with him, I said yes. What had happened was Keith and Stan had become running buddies and Keith wanted to date a girl from church and she said only if it was a double date. Keith asked Stan and was told Stan had just ended a relationship, so he did not have a date. Keith then told Stan he had a sister, from there Stan had a load of questions!! " Is she pretty?", "Is she fat?'" Keith told Stan yeah it will work out!! Trust ME!! Susan and I arrived in Lawton around 4pm on Saturday and Stan was there, I really got nervous and thinking, "Why did I even come"? Our date is one I will never forget that is for sure!!! We went in Keith's pickup, with all four of us in the front seat. Keith and Stan had planned that when they put their arms around us they would use pinkie signals on how the night was going. We had no idea they were doing this. Till me again.....................
