This is Russ and Linda in 1966.

They are my parents. My mom and dad were married in Los Angeles the DAY after they graduated CSUN. They met, got engaged, married, and graduated college in under 6 months!

And they are still married, surviving my dad going to Vietnam, 4 kids, many pets, earthquakes, and a lifetime of business trips.

They are funny, snarky, kind, supportive, generous, understanding, and fun to be around. They are always the safe place to go when you need anything, and their home has been a haven for many of my friends, who often ask to be adopted!

Sure, I am biased, but I really am the LUCKIEST to have these remarkable people in my life.

PS: I still have her orange sweater.
