SwedeHearts - Bruce '65 & Sharon '65 Texley

February 17, 2022

Bruce and I met when he was a Bethany freshman and I was a senior at Lindsborg High School. At the time Bethany was playing basketball games in the high school gym; Bruce and his friend were parking cars for the game one night while I was working in the concession stand. Since my friend was dating his friend, we all went for coffee that night. That was it. We dated for four and a half years, marrying on June 5, 1965, a week after graduation.
