123 ~ Bea's Blind Date

 By Kay Heitsch

I asked Bea how she met her husband, and she told me this funny story, which wasn't too funny at the time.

Bea was friends with a couple while she was single. One day, they told Bea they had a friend they thought she might like to meet. Everything was arranged for a double blind date.

However, the couple had an argument and decided not to go on the date, but told Bea she should go anyway. So, Bea agreed to go and meet her blind date.

Everything was going well until they were in John's car, on their way home. All of a sudden, the police were pulling them over. They grabbed John out of the car and threw him on the hood. Bea was in shock! Bea didn't know who this guy was and what she had gotten herself into.

After a lot of hoopla, the police decided they had the wrong man and let them go. Just so happened, John was driving a car that resembled a stolen vehicle the police were searching for.

This was quite a blind date and a wild way to meet your husband. Bea always spoke well of John, and they were married for many years.

This seemed like it might be a tragedy, but it turned out to be a triumph for Bea.
