Romance Is In the Air

Just a few little interesting tidbits of information I found for you today. Who is feeling romantic? Or would, at least, like to read some interesting “romantic” tales? Here’s a story about Thomas Edison that I had never heard before. It seems that Thomas and his wife would talk to each other privately in public places by tapping out their message in Morse code into each other’s hands. It was actually, how he proposed to her. Now, isn’t that sweet? How about this one? Patrick Henry, the patriot who gave the “give me liberty or give me death” speech right here at a church in Richmond, Virginia left his estate to his wife with an interesting stipulation. She was not to remarry. He said, “It would make me unhappy to feel I worked all my life to support another man’s wife.” So what happened? She forfeited the wealth for love and remarried. Do you have a story about romance in your life?
