65. He was from Ligonier?

Wow, does THAT bring back memories!

The first girl I ever fell head over heels in love with was from the midwest, and she then moved with her family to Ligonier. Gorgeous countryside. Strong family of Republicans, she dumped me for some hotshot at Yale, and then ended up marrying a German banker who was then credited with being a one man Lehman brothers, half wrecking the German Economy in 2008. He got off with a golden parachute of €150 million euros, and they now commute, if I have heard correctly, between Switzerland and Florida.

Considering the woman I DID end up marrying, she helped me dodge a major bullet (someone sing me "Pamela Brown&quot , though I didn't realize it at the time. Sounds like Ligonier must have something in the water.......
