“Married Young”
by Roger Wilson


I found it amazing to be a teenager:  living and laughing in our own world. Where did all that confidence come from? No problem seemed too big or too difficult for a young lady of 17 and a guy of 19.

We needed a place to live. We found a small old house on a beautiful lot with a great view of the Sound. We talked the owner into selling it to us for $2500—nothing down and $25 a month!

Together, we knocked all the plaster off the bedroom wall, put a new ceiling in, insulated the walls, went back with sheet rock and a nice paint job.

House was on its way to becoming our home.

The kitchen was next with bright wall paper, a wood cook stove with a new coating of black, and a new sink. Many warm happy hours were spent there.

Room by room, we made a home. It was this old house that taught us what it meant to be married and in love, and what it meant to be happy.
