Mark and Judy met at Colorado College in 1976. We shared the same circle of friends, then stayed in touch over the years through occasional reunions, cards and phone calls. In 2014, after Judy lost her husband of 31 years (who was also a close friend of Mark's), Mark checked up every few months to see how Judy was faring. Soon, the friendship blossomed into a romance. After four years of long distance dating, they decided to move in together and bought a home in Bollinger Canyon, San Ramon, where they are now happily residing, along with their dog Cleo.
