Popular Post stuny Posted March 14, 2021 Popular Post Share #1 Posted March 14, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Our first date was in late November 1984, she moved in with me 13 months later, and in January 1987 we wed. Barbara is the love of my live, my soulmate, my best friend. Among her many characteristics, are very high intelligence, generosity, honesty, thoughtfulness, warmth, zest for life, ability to focus, and you don't want to be on the other side of a work related debate because it's unlikely you'll win - An awesome thing to watch. Whenever in France or Quebec Province its a pleasure for me to see her mistaken for French. And you couldn't find anyone better to research and plan travel, for which she always surprises me with the best place for gelato or ice cream, plus auto museums. We never could get enough of one another, and the last year, working from home and seldom venturing out just solidified all those thoughts. We'll retire next month, and keep spending so much time together. To Barbara!

RoySmith Posted March 14, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 14, 2021 You are truly blessed. Congratulations on your upcoming retirement. You’ll have even more time to travel. Enjoy it.

stuny Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted March 14, 2021 Thank you Roy. a few years ago when we went to Churchill for polar bear spotting we spent several days in Winnipeg, and greatly enjoyed it, the art museum especially. While stationed in North Dakota with the USAF we'd have to drive to either the Twin Cities or Winnipeg for "civilization." That was in the late 1960s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

masjah Posted March 14, 2021 Share #7 Posted March 14, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Stuart, first of all a very big thank-you for a huge contribution to this Forum, both in terms of posts and as a Moderator (the latter sometimes being a thankless task where one is damned whichever side of a judgement call one makes). But, even more importantly, many congratulations on an obviously mutually devoted partnership of more than 35 years, with very best wishes for the future, and the new opportunities that retirement will bring. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
