SwedeHearts - Kirk '88 & Tammy '87 Girard

February 17, 2022

My husband Kirk and I met at Bethany and have been happily married for 33 ½ years.  I graduated in May 1987 and Kirk in the summer of 1987 (due to laying out a semester his sophomore year).

 

We were both in Prof Murphy’s statistics class, Kirk an hour prior to mine.  So we met each other in the hallway each day and there was the introductory small talk, the fall semester in 1985.  We finally both attended a similar function on a weekend (Sled Dog, not too glamorous! ) and the rest is history.  Not super romantic, but that isn’t really our style either.
