Today's Featured Biography

 

Sharon Affett Loken

Met hubby Gary Allen Loken at the "Hoot" on OCT. 5, 1961 ... Crash Loken wrecked my fathers car and love was born. Married OCT 6, 1962 at Trinity Lutheran Church, Eau Claire.
Moved to Milwaukee - Lived in various places in Milwaukee until settling on Howell Avenue. Gary just having returned from VN (1966 - 1968) started a welding business... Success was his and the business grew. He was a great provider and I did not have to work so stayed home and raised our sons. He spoiled me with a Jag XKE Roadster, Porthole Thunder bird, Cadillac Eldorado, among other great fun toys. His success was awesome and life great. Money was not an object ... Moved to San Antonio TX in 1976. Smart and Sassy ... Moved again to Seguin TX. and disaster struck. From that day when Gary was 35 (me 34) I would be the bread winner taking care of him. He had a massive stroke. This did not keep him totally down and his business sense clicked in ... The stroke left us broke as we had just borrowed over 600 thousand bucks to start a new business. Moved to Austin, TX to start over. Great life as I got to work in the school district so was home with the boys ... except Gary decided to purchase a Convience Store. OK - not fun. Meanwhile he built a 40 Ford Coupe. Later came a 90th Anniversary Harley Trike. Life was good ... Then disaster again as our son was killed in an auto accident by a girl HIGH ON SPEED. Troy and his girlfriend died that day - and honestly part of each of the 3 of us did also. This pain was worse than anything we ever imagined. Forward to 1995. Gary needs a heart transplant to stay here with us. Lord provided .. and he is still ticking along. I love the gentle man that is by my side. The days are refreshing when we look at all the many mountains and bumps we have traveled. We / I am blessed. We had our big 50 on October 6th. Praising the Lord for the great blessing of years of marriage. We still want to do some travel - but Gary's health decides if we do or not. Alaska is on the list. If we do - great ! If not I will just be happy with the true love of my life. I will always recall the day I saw him walk through the doors of the "Hoot" and friends thought I was totally nuts when I said ... I am going to marry that man. We were on two sides of the coin .. he popular and ran the school and me .. well the other. His friends thought I was pg when we married - but it took 2 months short of 9 years to have our first child. WE are so molded that life has been a joy. I am not sure if I can ever talk him to come back to Eau Claire - but I would like to. If not ... God Bless each of you and I pray your adventure has been as great as mine has. Hugs from Round Rock, TX (Outside of Austin, TX.) YA ALL STOP IN IF IN OUR NECK OF THE USA... WE get fixin to do something all the time. LOL
