Journaling:
I am so thankful to have been young when there were real telephones...with clear connections. When Captain Romance sounded right next door even though he was 200 miles away. No "breaking up" or static! No taking a phone call for granted.

Fifty-some years ago, I lived in Seattle, and Dave attended optometry school in Forest Grove, Oregon. The separation was difficultwe were very lonely sometimes. But every Sunday evening, Dave would buy a roll of quarters and walk to a nearby public phone booth so he could talk to me without roommates eavesdropping. We would talk until his quarters were gone. I can only imagine how cold he got in the middle of winter.

There are many advantages to today's cell phones and Face-time, but nothing even close to being as romantic as our Sunday night calls. Still makes me well up with tears when I think of what a romantic guy I loved then, and still do.
What a fabulous story! Love the LO too. Hope you have family who will treasure the story!
 
You don't hear that kind of sacrifice made for love anymore. Love the story, love the layout.

Wonderful story and page. I love the look of the old pay phone that brings back so many memories of making "dates" to meet at certain phone booths, to take a call from a "sweetie," so that the nosey neighbors on our party phone line couldn't listen in. haha Kids today, don't know how romantic it WAS!!! :) Great memory captured, Sharron! Congrats on the Haps feature.
 
Thanks for the Haps feature Vicki. I loved remembering the story and making the AJ page.
