Lynda Shipcott: Reggie and I met in Feburary 1956. He was fifteen and I was fourteen. He was our paperboy where we lived in La Puente,CA. One day my mother said, "You need to meet the paperboy, he is really cute." He was very handsome and had really curly blonde hair. As it happened we lived in the same track of homes and my friend Annetta lived across the street from him. When I told her that I wanted to meet him she took me by his house. He was in the garage and she introduced us. He loved my ponytail and how it "wiggled when I walked." From that day on I made a point to be around when he was in his garage and as they say, "the rest is history." We kissed for the first time at a Valentine's party. It was "Seventh Heaven." We "went steady" three years and he proposed to me on a bluff overlooking the ocean in Dana Point on March 26, 1959. We were married on Valentine's day in 1960. The Lord blessed us with four children, Dean, Erik, Sean and Gina, ten grand children and one great grandson.
