All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.

student at the school, reading books with her dog. Katie, an avid reader, writer, student, and athlete since childhood, passed away in 2003 in a car accident. Principal Dr. Kathleen Winters said she was “honored to accept such a beautiful and meaningful gift” on behalf of the school and its students. The sculpture will be displayed in the school’s library. photo by christopher betz (center) St. Isidore students, Brett Wyatt, William Robinson, Julian and Isabella Taylor, work and play together on Martin Luther King Day. submitted photo (right) State Rep.

How and where did you and your Sweetheart Meet?
Brian and Kristine Doyle and daughter, Sierra I met my husband through personal ads in the local newspaper. We connected and spoke on the phone for hours and decided to meet in person. From then on, we kept dating and he proposed! (see inside)

I met my husband through the East Swamp youth group back in 1987. One Sunday night after the “Drive In” service, a group of youth were going for pizza. Mike lent me $2 for a slice. The rest is history, however he says I never paid him back. We have been married 22 years.
We met though an online dating service. Our first date was at Bertucci’s restaurant. We’d talked on the phone the night before for over 3 1/2 hours, until 2:40 a.m, and he asked me out. We were out the next night until late, and the next day we spent together, too...that was over 6 months ago and it just keeps getting better!
Cathy Gillahan I met my husband on a blind date set up by a mutual friend. We went to the same high school. I didn’t think we’d ever date, since we seemed so different from each other and he was a few years ahead of me in school. Well, it worked out. We married 2 ½ years after that first date. We’llcelebrate our 24th wedding anniversary in September.
