“What was your most memorable Valentine’s day?” from the February 14, 1978 Door County Advocate
What was your most memorable Valentine’s day?
Nancy Turk, R. 1: “I guess last year when my husband had flowers sent for me and each of my girls. The children were just thrilled to get flowers from their dad and I was excited at how pleased they were.”
Pat Hickey, Baileys Harbor: “The Valentine’s Day before my husband and I got married. We were 2,500 miles apart at that time and planning our wedding for that March. He surprised me with a phone call and we talked about our wedding. It was a very nice Valentine’s.”
Amy Torstenson, 35 E. Oak: “I remember Valentine’s Day at Cherry school when I was a child many years ago. We use to have a Valentine box and we looked forward to getting that box and opening it up to see if there was a Valentine from our favorite boy.”
Louise FitzGerald, 1312 Memorial Drive: “I guess it was the Valentine’s Day when I was living in Rhode Island and experienced the biggest blizzard ever in New England (prior to last week’s blizzard). We were snowbound for two days, everything was closed and we couldn’t get anywhere.”
Gary DeNamur, 127 S. 9th: “The year my wife finally accepted my engagement ring. I had made multiple proposals to her but prior to that Valentine’s Day I was unsuccessful in getting her to accept.”
