Missoula Rabble, Bob and Monica met in Long Beach, CA the night before JFK was assassinated. They were at a Catholic singles mixer. I asked Bob how long they've been married. "Forty-nine years, one month and three days," he said. He had asked her to play ping pong. "She said she knew how to play, but she didn't," he said and laughed. "We're like oil and water. Cat and dog," he said. "She's Hungarian and Spanish. I'm German." They raised three daughters together. "I was outnumbered," he said. I asked Monica how they made it. "A lot of love and a lot of tolerance," she said. "Underneath his mixture of bravado, there's a kind man."
