Valentine's Day Program

 

Jack Pratt started out the fun by walking us through his 51 point checklist for finding the perfect match.  But Jack didn't have to rely on the list for very long once he found Missy!  His blind date turned into anything but, as Missy's friends (who were going to be her dinner guests before the blind date materialized), or as Jack called them, the "judges," kept a close eye on the proceedings.  But despite the "oversight," Jack and Missy ended up together and they've lived happily ever after since.

 

 

 

David Reast followed up Jack (which was no easy task) with an entertaining story that started with a man and a band.  David traveled from Michigan to South Padre to join the Whitewing Band, which was a family band that got it's start playing progressive country (move over Willie & Waylon!) at Shaky's Pizza Parlor.  Winning Rosalie over was no easy task, but David persisted, and after wooing his future wife with his musicianship, Archie Bunker episodes, beer and grapefruit (the only items in his fridge at the time), David and Rosalie married and have been exchanging the same Valentine cards to one another ever since!

 

 

 

Justin spoke of the love of his life (his wife Casey).  He also told us about the way to her heart - cooking up a mean steak that any one of us would just drool over.  Justin, my wife wants you to help me fine tune my grilling skills!

 

 

 

Paul closed out the program with a bang (At least, I'd like to think so - wait - who dressed that guy in a pink shirt?).  He met his wife Courtney on a trip to Ritz Camera (are those even around anymore?) in the mall to get a passport photo for his CPA exam (what a nerd).  Though he doesn't care one way or another about photography, he asked Courtney about EVERY camera in the store just to desperately prolong the conversation.  Things went well, but this bumbling accountant didn't even ask her out until he called back later from the phone book. Wow. Lucky for him, Courtney saw something in this man and they've been together ever since!
