| 0:00.0 | So when you meet, if you're a married couple and you meet a married couple or you meet somebody's married, |
| 0:04.9 | it's not uncommon, you know, at some point in the conversation when you get to know somebody |
| 0:08.2 | and say, hey, how did y'all meet? You know, you've asked people that, hey, how did y'all meet? |
| 0:12.2 | So just ask me real quick. Oh, thank you for asking. So 39 years ago, back in the 1900s, |
| 0:20.7 | remember that? Yeah, 39 years ago, I had the 1900s, remember that? |
| 0:21.6 | Yeah, 39 years ago, I had a friend Gary Niebuhr who worked at Georgia Tech. |
| 0:26.6 | He was part of the Athletic Association. |
| 0:27.6 | He was the tennis coach there. |
| 0:29.6 | And he was a friend, and he was the sponsor of a Bible study on the Georgia Tech campus. |
| 0:35.6 | And so he called me one day. |
| 0:36.6 | He said, hey, the teacher who |
| 0:37.6 | normally teaches is out. Could you come and fill in for her at the Bible study on the Georgia campus? And I said, no.

And I said, no, because I still have something I do every single Monday night. And if I remember this correctly, it was the third time. He finally called and said, hey, could you come fill in our teachers out again? And I said, no. He said, well, what if we start an hour later? I'm like, are you that desperate? I mean, so I'm going to teach high school students in a home, jump in the car, rush down to Georgia Tech, and teach again. |
| 1:28.4 | And he's like, yeah. |
| 1:30.1 | I'm like, well, you've been so patient and you've been so persistent. I said, okay, I'll do it. So I went and I taught and there's a lot of fun. And then, a few days later or a week later, it's a long time ago, he called me, he said, |
| 1:43.9 | hey, at the Bible study, do you remember meeting a girl named Sandra Walker? |
| 1:47.9 | And I said, no. He said, well, I think y'all met. I'm not sure. I said, well, there was mostly guys there, as I remember, and I don't remember. He said, well, anyway, she volunteers in the athletic department. I've gotten to know her. |

| 2:18.0 | that. They leverage that Christian thing, you know. I'm just, ugh, that's just creepy to me. So, then he, he, he, and he, he, he, I insisted, I kept saying no. And then he saw him, he said, here's her number. No lie, I said, no. I said, I'm not going to, I'm not going to call her ever. |
