Subject: 38th Anniversary - Bonnie and Manfred

Subject: 38th Anniversary - Bonnie and Manfred

To: undisclosed recipients  
The first time I saw her, she was walking across the lawn to the parking lot from her apartment, dressed in all-black, going out on a date with one of the local yokels. 

I was standing some distance off with a friend, also a tenant at our apartment complex. I ask my friend who she was. "Oh, that's Bonnie in number 6." Little did I know at the time that this was my first glimpse of my life partner - the woman with whom I would spend the next 32 years. A month later, I moved in with her. That was in 1981.

Whenever I put together a video, such as this particular video, created for what would have been our 38th anniversary, had she lived, I try to surpass the artistry of my previous videos. I'm not always successful, but I do believe with this particular one, I have been. So, Happy Anniversary, Bonnie in number 6.
