Mike and Marie met in a business psychology course at the beginning of their sophomore year. She sat next to him because it was the last seat left. When they left, they walked together to their next class. They got engaged in their senior year, graduated in May 1973 and got married in September. They have been married for 46 years, and have lived in Houston, Manhattan, and many places in between. Today, they are retired to the Hill Country. They have two sons and four granddaughters and are enjoying the Texas State University Theatre program.
