Barb was visiting her friend Barbara who lived in San Antonio Tx. Barb had arrived a day or 2 earlier and on the night of the 20th, Barb, Barbara, and Mark, her boyfriend at the time, all went out to a large new dance club that had opened. Mark had a friend that was to join them to make a foursome. I (Michael) worked at HEB grocery store up the street from the dance club. One of my female co-workers wanted to go out dancing (it was also ladies night with 50 cent drinks for the ladies) but did not want to go alone. She asked if I would go, and I agreed. I got off work later and went home but regretted agreeing because I was tired. Still, I had given my word, so I got dressed and went out to the club. As it turned out my co-worker never showed up! Being young (26) and single I decided to just stay a couple of hours and just see how many ladies I could get to dance with me. I told myself I would leave at 10 pm. Around 9:45 I was finishing my drink and getting set to leave when I spotted this beautiful girl sitting alone at a table. She looked way out of my league but I figured I would be leaving if she said no so I got up and asked her to dance. To my surprise, and also delight, she accepted and we danced not one but 3 or 4 songs. Afterword she invited me to her table. Seems Marks friend either did not show, or made a quick exit. I found her to be funny, smart, extremely pretty, and fell for her almost immediately. We talked till late in the evening and I joined them at Barbara’s apartment for a final drink. I asked to see Barb again the next night and she agreed. That was the first time we met and the beginning of a relationship which lasted almost 40 years.
