“Where did you propose to your wife?”
That was the featured question in our February edition of Ambassador's Update newsletter. If you didn't get a copy, please let us know!
Paul Hollinger (formerly of WDAC/Lancaster) shared with us how he proposed to his wife:
While students at Moody, I invited Sylvia on our first date, to take the subway to Chicago’s tallest building, the Prudential Observatory. There we saw millions of lights in every direction beneath us. The posh rotating restaurant behind us was not affordable! One year later, March 21, 1958, we returned to celebrate our first “anniversary.” From those lofty heights, I proposed and Sylvia accepted, even though the cost of the diamond kept our backs to the restaurant, our faces to the lights beneath, the stars above and our eyes for each other.

June 1987, Buffalo Springs Lake, just outside Lubbock TX, on a clear evening with the West Texas sunset on the horizon. It was "Will you..." and she said "Yes" before I could finish the question.
David and Rose Ann, married 1/21/1989. Just celebrated our 20th.
Late in 1942, Jean was working at the local Kroger Store (grocery). On a Saturday night (real busy time), I went into the store, found Jean behind the counter, then enticed her to an opening in the counter. When she got there, I gave her the ring I bought, and asked her to marry me.
We were married on March 29, 1943, and last March, celebrated 65 years of "wedded bliss". PTL.
Thankful that Jean was there, but went to be with Jesus on October 19, 2008.
