My stranger of the day: John. Happiest time of your life? I think when I got married was the happiest time, but Im very happy right now. I bet that was great. Yes, I married the woman that Id dated for several years. How did you know she was the one? After the first date...but it took 7 years to convince her! How long have you been married? 60 years Many marriages dont achieve near that anymore. Whats been the secret? We compromise. Toughest time of your life? I developed cancer in 1995. That was a tough time. But, after the treatments, everything worked out really well. How did you wrap your mind around the idea that you had cancer? I have faith...and it worked out that, after the radiation treatment, the cancer has been contained for over 20 years. It all worked out. So, you were in the service, tell me about that. I was 18 years old when I went in. I was very fortunate, in that things went my way. I grew up...I was a kid when I went in. I got out in 3 years, when I as 21. We were never shot down or anything, so it worked out well for us. What did you learn about yourself during that time? I had to take care of myself- momma and dad werent there anymore. Advice for my boys? Live a good life. Be concerned about your fellow man and treat them all like youd like to be treated. What are you most proud of, looking back on your life? My two children. Theyve turned out very good. Both successful business people...and theyve been great friends. Im proud of them. adviceformyboys
