I am Rosemary Purvis-Lesher and my husband is Holly Lesher Jr. I was 16 when my parents moved next to Holly's family and it was the end of the school year. During the summer Holly and I had become close (we were each others first boyfriend/girfriend) but by the time school started again Holly folks moved to a nearby town. Holly and I started going steady but neither of us drove so my parents would take me over on some weekends to see Holly. Eventualy we just broke apart I graduated my school and got marriedand separated within 6 months, later to get divorced. After Holly had graduated he went into service and to Vietnam. About four years after graduation and after my divorce and his service time I went to a place and was suprised when Holly was working there. We soon rebuilt our relationship and were married about a year later and have been married now for 32 years in June 2003.
