How a Peanut in a Cup Led to a Lifetime of Happiness

Thank you to Dave Gibbons '77 for sending us this story.

He writes "My best Delt memory was a Delt / DZ party October of 1976 - held just prior to Jimmy Carter's election so we had a bunch of peanuts in the tube room (for you youngsters Carter was a Georgian peanut farmer). I saw this hot looking DZ across the room who I didn't know but wanted to meet and of course what better method then to toss a peanut across the room into her beer cup - one shot/one make: walked her home that night. Six weeks later I told her I was going to marry her, a few months later we got pinned and I was tied up to the basketball pole covered in old food, paint and crepe paper out back of the shelter - as was the ritual in those days. 33 years and three kids later we have been married over 30 years."
