University of Chicago.

My mom and her sister had undergraduate degrees from the University of Copenhagen in theoretical physics. They had been told there was no place for women in advanced physics in Denmark, so they moved their studies to the US. My dad was working on his doctorate at the time. My dad sort of forgot to tell my mom that he was a widower with 2 kids back in Georgia with his mother.

At college in Hammond at the Methodist Student Union. Both were Baptist, but the Methodists had a pool table.

Mom’s roommate had a crush on Dad’s roommate, so dragged Mom with her to the MSU where Dad and his roommate were playing pool.

To my knowledge the roommates never went out. Girl was kind of homely.

My parents, however, started dating that weekend, were engaged three months later, married within the year. Married 61 years. One precocious and precious child (moi) born 6 years in.

My dad was dating my aunt.

One day, he visited and asked for the other sister.

Married 54 years.

(My aunt has 3 divorces and another 14 year domestic partnership that ended).

Close one, dad.

Oddly enough, my parents were both at LSU, but they met in Alexandria, when my mom went home with a friend up there. She was from Panama, and I’m pretty sure I was conceived on campus.

My father co-owned a grocery store with my uncle. My mother and her sisters would shop there.

It was a take as old as time…

They met thru my mom’s older brother. He and my dad were best friends in high school. Dad banged his best friends little sister and knocked her up. They got married and made it about 20 years before divorcing.

Have no clue. My dad was fresh from WWII, South Pacific theater. My mother worked for Bell South as a switch board operator. But they did meet some how and I’m now here to respond.
