Joan writes “Marry me, help me get an
education and we’ll see the world.” This is what her husband,
Leigh, class of ’54, said to her 48 ˝ years ago. They did it. In fact, he managed to get
three degrees. Six
children (3 boys and 3 girls), 17 grandchildren, 6 spouses, 7
states, 10 cities, and about 23 addresses later, they are having a
ball. Leigh and all the
children are “gators” with degrees from the
University of
Florida.
Joan has a year at
Buffalo
State, a year at
Arizona
State, a year at
Indiana
University and finally a
degree from Florida
International
University. She still works in Leigh’s
law office and they have no plans to retire. Besides family, Joan and
Leigh enjoy Caribbean cruising, photography,
electronics and scrap booking.
She says the best $15 she ever spent was about 17 years ago
when she bought a Santa suit so Leigh could play Santa for their
first grandson. Santa
comes every year and the family has a great
time. |
