The Scoutens:

Pictures of Us

  Patty and I met at Corry Memorial Hospital where we both worked. She likes to recall that the first time we actually spoke was during a softball game. We were both playing outfield and a ground ball came to her, which she caught. I then ran over to her and said, "Give me the ball!!!" She gave it to me and I proceeded to overthrow the second baseman. The next time a ball came to her, she kept it and made a perfect throw to second base. After that, I kept my mouth shut and let her make her own throws. What a wonderful beginning eh? A short time after that day, we were at a party together at The Lusiaks. I became too intoxicated to walk straight, let alone drive. I needed a ride to the hospital to see my mother (She ended up being fine.) and, Patty volunteered. She was real enthused meeting my parents for the first time as, "This is Patty. I was too drunk to drive so, she brought me." We began seeing each other soon afterwards. I told Patty that I would teach her how to golf but, I decided that it was going to be too difficult and married her instead. (No, not really!) We have been married since August 20, 1994.
