we had just moved to florida and i announced to my father that i wasn't going to register at the highschool. he agreed, with one stipulation that i join the unitarian church so i would have some friends my own age.

so i met chris west and his garage band. his mother kind of adopted me and gave me the 'florida room' for a studio.

one day my father came to pick me up and met her. then his car wouldn't start so he had to spend the night. that's all it took for them. it was love at first sight. and a very good match. it turned out that both her parents had been college professors. her father was a physicist. anita not only bounced on einsteins knee but graduated from college when she was seventeen.

at that time after a failed marriage to a musician she was working as a pharmacist. they got married about a month later.

as usual, more than you needed to know.

what's really interesting, i think, is that obeying my father led to his meeting his soulmate.
