Bruce and Karen met in December of 1975 with their first official date being on his birthday in January of 1976. It wasn't long before they became a permanent item - where one was, the other was usually not to far away. Dating time included many camping and fishing trips, with Bruce doing the fishing and Karen taking the photos. This eventually turned into travels throughout Canada and the United States for a day or a couple of weeks. Being on the road and seeing what was out there was where they were both happy. Conversations in the vehicle brought them closer. Stops at tourist destinations, museums, antique shops and convenience breaks would sometimes meant that there were days when they only traveled a hundred miles and other days when they did seven hundred miles.

Meeting and chatting with people along the way was what was fun, usually at the hotel’s complimentary breakfast or the early morning diner. Some of these folks became life long friends, other were just friendly strangers but all made their lives great.

Forty five years married, fifty years together, it was never dull or boring if they were together.
