HOW WE STARTED

Two people subscribed to a Singles Newsletter called “County Connections”. A city girl from Southern California wrote a guy named Carl, from Kansas in April 1988. He wrote back. Letters went back and forth. After a few months we started talking on the phone weekly.

In October she flew to Kansas to meet him. And she flew again in December to Kansas. He flew to California in February 1989.

A few more trips back and forth. In February 1990 he flew to California. She had a trailer loaded with her things and they drove her Volkswagen Rabbit to Kansas with that trailer. She moved into a house he found her to rent. She got a job in Kansas and spent many hours at the farm, on tractors and combines. And then they got married in December 1990.
