Jim likes to say that he proposed on their first date. He did ask Patricia “when are we going to get married?” when the couple who set them up was talking about their wedding plans. Two and a half years later, that question was answered – they got married in July 1963. Jim and Patricia have wonderful memories from Texas State and recently returned to San Marcos to explore campus and enjoy the famous Manske Rolls. They have two sons and four granddaughters.
