"Love's pure silver flame gives each innermost spirit invisible warmth." - A Haiku Verse Dave Johnson and Alyson Gantar August 16, 2003 | ||||||||
Alyson says: We met when I joined the Reamer Club at Purdue in the Fall of 1996. This is a school spirit organization. It was my freshman year and his sophomore year. We did not get along at first mostly because I did not care for him very much. I thought he was very cocky and annoying. It wasn't until my junior year that I began to like him. After a few weeks of flirting and basically throwing myself at him (I never said he was a quick one), I had to enlist the help of one of my friends (Niki) to get the ball rolling. Needless to say after a night at the bars with Niki, Dave got his butt in gear. We started dating the 18th of September 1998. Since then we have been to 5 different states doing a long distance relationship. We are finally living in the same state and loving every minute of it. Dave says: I'm pretty sure we met at a Reamer Club callout at Purdue. If you don't know what that club is, it's not important. Apparently, I was oblivious to the two years of hatred that followed. Therefore, I won't take the time to detail that period. The only statement I will make in my defense is that it was confidence, not arrogance. We started dating during my senior year at Purdue (Alyson's junior year). I had begun to win her over during her stint as the club's secretary while I was president. After some gentle flirtation during the first couple of months of the fall term, we started to officially date one late night (read: early morning) a little before Octoberbreak in 1998. I've been trying to resist the urge to play in traffic ever since :) |
