She was teaching junior high English and Geography when at
the instigation of several female colleagues she visited the Superintendent of
Schools to make spring requisitions. “We
need some eligible & handsome young male teachers to fill next years
vacancies,” she suggested. When she
appeared in my classroom that fall to “borrow an overhead projector”, little
did I know I’d been “requisitioned.” Well
two out of three, being young and male, proved to be adequate and we hit it off
quite well. She liked the great outdoors
as these pictures demonstrate and I was smitten….. or was it doomed? It was 1965.

English and geography: a most excellent combination.
Ah, how sweet!
Your wife was smart to "requisition" you! She looks lovely in the great outdoors, and her appreciation for earth's blessings made a great match for you.
I love happy endings!
love it! and I love that she made that request for herself and fellow female teachers. sounds like you've got a "go getter" on your hands ;-)
Oh, I love that goofy grin on your face. And I love this story. Another great match. Definitely not doomed.
What charming photos. Nice way to meet -- both teachers. Commonality leads to great friendships and sometimes marriage in your case!
Not one thing I love more than a Happy Ending, and this looks like one to me!
Cheers,
