8: My Story - the Definition of "Pure Love" and "True Love" & the Death of "Pure Love"

The Definition of “Pure Love” and “True Love”

60 years later, empirical evidence proving serious conflict with marrying my High School Sweetheart that required considerable Psychological Treatment and was diagnosed as PERSEVERATING! 

How after 60 years, could old letters discovered, cause such an emotional upheaval that as being insane by psychological prognosis. 

The Death of “Pure Love”  

I have fallen in love all over again with my sweetheart from our High School days, going to college together and when the babies begin to come into our lives. It has been intoxicating to fall in love again, just to be in the same room again, to feel her breath, and to feel her walk close by me. Pure Love as defined throughout the 800 pages double sided, 150 stories and pictures by the hundreds. I love being in love all over again except…  

I have been very slowly over several years, falling away from love with my vision of what a great marriage looks like! What the hell am I talking about – it’s killing me for realizing this has been happening. I am starting to research this psychological phenomenon. I have been through counseling in learning how the brain functions and deals with this thought process. Documentation on my psychological report.

10: Around the World in 17 Days, Australia & China

 A Three-Way Tie for 10th Place! 1. Around the world in 17 days: Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Golden Gage Bridge, Great Wall of China, Beijing, India, Mumbai Gandhi, Israel, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Egypt, Cairo, Pyramids, Constantinople, Istanbul, Turkey, Chicago, then home. (27,000 miles--very expensive.) 2. Australia: 10 days - Salt Lake City to San Francisco, non-stop San Francisco to Sydney (14 hrs) on the Great Barrier Reef, swimming, tours, lesson in scuba diving, ant onto Ayres rock, the largest monolith in the world. Getting there is like flying to Kansas City in the US. Australia is the size of the US with a population of 30 million. Perth is the other side of Australia. Olympic games in Sydney and Melbourne.  3. China: 14 days - Beijing, Great Wall of China, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and many more stops. (A must see!) Been there and done that many times.  My consulting work in the United States, every major city several times, Canada, and 48 foreign countries has ...

3: Possible Death Crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a German Coal Freighter

Two lifelong friends decided in high school to go to Europe after their 2nd year of college, come hell or high water!  Little did they know the dangers of working their way for passage on a 9,000-ton German Coal Freighter in January. The Atlantic Ocean stormed 14 of the 17 days. Some days we never made headway against the giant waves and the horrific head winds that would cover part of the ship!  In rough weather, the captain was on the deck both day and night, watching for the largest waves coming. He would steer the ship to change course and put the bow straight into the wave to avoid rolling the ship on its side, causing the coal to shift. The captain, as we docked in Bremerhaven, Germany, was quoted as saying that in his 40 years of being Captain of small ocean-going freighters, this trip we were on was the “most dangerous” in any crossing. (A crossing that on the average was only 10 days!) We heard some of the crew members were quitting because of the rough voyage!  ...

9: A Declaration on Marriage

 Some say I robbed the cradle in finding myself a wife. It’s not true. Jeanie was 12 in the 6th grade. I was 14 at my 8th grade graduation. :) We didn’t kiss until she was 13 and I was 15 (so there). My parents were married when my Mother was 14 and my Dad was 16. They were married for 75 years. Both died at age 93, one year apart. I can still remember the night, the location, the three kisses, and the songs that played on the radio the first time I kissed Jeanie. When I got up enough courage to put my arm around her shoulder then kissed her, it was incredible. For our first kiss, the song playing was “Love Letters in the Sand” by Pat Boone. The large picture of us dancing on our fist date is hanging on the wall in our home in Saint George, Utah.  For the record, the picture was taken with Jeanie closer to the camera giving the illusion she was taller than me. I was 5’2” in the 8th grade and Jeanie was 5’1”, the same height that she is today. If you want more detail, notice th...
