I met the love of my life in a biology class at UNT in 1947. She was beautiful and I loved her deeply. We were married in 1950 after we both graduated, and we spent the next 60 years together. She passed away Feb. 9 and I miss her terribly. She was still beautiful at 88 years and 3 days. Her name was Evelyn Smyth when I met her in biology class, but it was Evelyn Vagt for the next 60 years.
Our memories of UNT people and events are many and pleasant. One of her favorites was demonstration school director Rose Bailey. Those high on my list were Lady Kate Medders and Dr. Arthur Sampley, both of the library school.
Dr. George Morey and his dear wife lived next door to us on Chestnut Street in Denton. We enjoyed the lovely music they made together on summer evenings practicing on their front porch. All so long ago.
Thank you for the memories your latest issue brought me today.
