My friend and her husband took me to the Island View Casino. I saw Gary sitting at a table playing cards and told my friends that I wanted to meet him. Her husband said he knew him because they had played in card tournaments together. So we went up to Gary and he introduced us. Gary said hello then went back to playing cards. The next evening was an event they have for people playing in the tournament. They invited me to go, then asked Gary to sit at our table. Gary and I talked for awhile, then when I was leaving, I handed him my card and said "Call me sometime if you want to go out". We all know how shy Gary is; it took him a week to gather the courage to call me and ask me out. And the rest is history.
