Love Stories with Students: My Parents

“My parents met in what I believe is their junior year of college, they had a political science class together, and my mom – she had lost one of her textbooks – while she was in the library, she was going around looking for classmates of hers, asking if anybody had seen her textbook. She ended up crossing my father's path at the time, not knowing each other, but knew of each other because they were in the same class. He said that he didn't know where her textbook was and she was really disappointed, but he ended up finding her textbook, and kind of came up with, like, a cute little way to introduce himself to her. So, in class later, he asked her if she had found her textbook, and knowing that she hadn't, because he had it. He was like, ‘Oh, that's-  that's crazy. That's because I found it. And here you go.’ So, that's kind of how they met each other.” -GK
