My memories of Joe go back to the time he was a student at the University of Montana in Missoula, Montana. Susan and I were room-mates at the time, and she had taken a job at the 7 Gables Dinner Club. Joe also worked as a waiter at 7 Gables when he was not attending university classes and ROTC meetings.
He looked ever-so-handsome in his black tuxedo and bow tie uniform
. Susan was very much smitten from the first time they met and chased him until he finally caught her. He was just as smitten and the two of them were the cutest couple ever, traveling around in his pastel-colored Ford Victoria.
I also have a memory of typing Joe's thesis on a manual typewriter, with no end of typos, profanity and corrections. Who could have guessed what adventures were in store for this charismatic couple?
Go with God, Joe
