Made of Happy

Ok, so my titles are not so great. 🙂 This is just about a minute and a half long, and recounts this couple’s very first date. What I love best is hearing the obvious affection in the voices of the two people, for both the memory of the person they met, and the person who is with them now.

Bernice and Ben

“Hank had a girlfriend, Eddie had a girlfriend, I had no girlfriend…”
Ben Finn, 82, and his wife, Bernice Finn, 79, remember meeting on a blind date in 1946.

By the way, I am really enjoying StoryCorps. In many ways, it’s like 1-2 minutes of This American Life, the Lite version.
