11 . I moved right next door to Terry and his family . Every summer we would come down to visit until my family decided to move to Dunbar permanently .
Shanna : Did you guys have a connection even back
then ?
Glenda : I was friends with his sisters . So I was always over to their house . They lived right next
door to me . My nephew used to take his brother ' s red wagon . So , I thought , someone has to take this wagon back . So I took the wagon back over to their house .

time up until they closed . I used to love the Lo Mein . The lady there knew us by our names and knew exactly what we wanted to order every time we visited the restaurant .
Glenda : ( laughing ) Yes , we
were regulars .
Shanna : When did you guys
know that you found the right one in each other ?
Terry : I knew Glenda would
be my wife back when we were in high school . I knew in my heart that I would marry her . I had other friends but Glenda was different . She was fine !!! She was hard working . I knew she would be a good mom and a good wife . Plus , she looked good in Levi jeans ! I loved seeing her in those jeans ! Oh boy !!!
