We threw a party at Kurt’s house, inviting his TI friends and mine from Arlington School. I helped plan everything and hired a musician to play guitar music. Kurt announced that he had asked me to marry him and that I had accepted. I think in the back of his mind he was really looking forward to fatherhood–subconscious imagery here. Also, he had posted Vicki’s untrasound to our refrigerator. Future hint much? The announcement back in Virginia was received with less enthusiasm since he was “only 29”!!!
