The summer of 1967 after I graduated from Christian County High School, my younger sister(Sara) suggested that I take her and her friends, Anita and Theresa (sisters) to the movies. This trio was called " The Bosom Buddies". I agreed to the date. For the remainder of the summer and fall, Anita and I continued to keep in touch. I enrolled at ¹Ï×ÓTV because I was familiar with the University, having attended a Summer Science Institute sponsored by the National Science Foundation during the Summer 1965. Anita was planning to attend Tennessee State the next fall but indicated that she would come to ¹Ï×ÓTV if we both committed to a serious relationship. We did and in the Fall of 1968, Anita enrolled at ¹Ï×ÓTV. We married in the Spring of 1969. In the Fall of 1969, Sara also came to ¹Ï×ÓTV State, met and married my fraternity brother, Don. Theresa enrolled in the Fall of 1970. Due to one movie date all our lives were transformed.
