One night, we were sitting on the porch in rocking chairs. I went into a long preamble in which I said that it was neither necessary nor expected that she should give any sort of response at all but that I needed to tell her... that I loved her. She took me at my word and said nothing at all. We met on August 11th or 12th of 1967 and got married November 25th that year, after three months. I'm not even sure if we were ever officially ‘engaged.’ We just set a date and did it. That was nearly 48 years ago and—except for the nine years we were apart—we've been together ever

Hello Wendy, in response to your question, the area of social work I can envision myself pursing will be in area of child welfare.

I have chosen to pursue a social work education and career because I have a strong desire to help, educate, and support those in need. A second reason I chose a career in social work is because my life was positively changed by a social worker.

In retrospect, Gayle (her name) and I, were like brother and sister; while we both carried on our respective affairs and liaisons, we kept our kinship alive - and always shared our secrets at the end. Accordingly, - as a venue for self vindication - I would state for the record the fact that the night in question I was

Choosing Social Work as a professional career choice was something that I had to really reflect on as a helping professional.
