Love Story: Love Perfectly Constructed
Terry & Glenda Cox
Shanna: How long have you all been married? Glenda: We got married in 1984. It was June 16, 1984. Terry: It will be 33 years soon. Shanna: Where did you all meet? Terry: In the big city of Dunbar!!!( laughing) Glenda
used to come down to Dunbar during the summers before she moved from New York when she was a little girl.
Glenda: I moved from New York to Dunbar when I was
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.
Shanna: When did you two start dating?
Terry: About 13 years old. It was puppy love then. We dated back and forth all through school. I always thought that Glenda was beautiful and we always had fun together.
Glenda: Our 1st date was at a club in Dunbar called Cox Shop. It was his dad ' s shop.
Terry: But our official first date was at Schezuan Chinese restaurant. We would go there all the
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!!!
