One memorable and now slightly legendary story involves two individuals who met during a lousy amateur production of The Wizard of Oz. This story takes us back to a time when blue spangles adorned their shoes, and they played the White House for a Lady Bird's Christmas party, which was more of a practical joke on kids who were already underprivileged.

Interestingly, she was married to someone else at the time of their first meeting.

Despite the unusual circumstances, this meeting led to a love that lasted a lifetime. This isn't the typical story of love at first sight, but it is a testimony to the resilient nature of true love.
