HOW WE MET....
We met on the 23rd of December 1972 in a casual small Christmas party hosted by Mr. & Mrs. Doming\Amy Leuterio. The party was held in Leuterio's residence of Chicago. Amy Leuterio is Clinia's head nurse at OB\GYNE Department, Cook County Hospital, Chicago, Illinois. Miss Clinia arrived late and was dressed like a Cinderella. Her knee boots glistened in the evening light. Mrs. Amy Leuterio introduced me to this lovely and captivating woman. This was the most unforgettable moment of my life. It was a difficult courtship due to Clinia's long work hours at two different hospitals. But through our mutual efforts, we were able to schedule ourselves occasionally to see each other. Everything went smoothly, despite these difficulties. Because we like and trust each other, in so many ways, marriage seemed to be the only answer. We find that we made the right decision.
