The Gift of Pure Gold Love

The journey began at a Marine Corps New Years' Eve Ball in Washington D.C. My parents met for the first time and they fell head over heels in love. They were married seven months and thirteen days later, on July 13, 1963. This book is dedicated to the two most influential people in my life and as evidenced by the contributors in this book, they have made a lasting positive impact on many lives. I am blessed to be the only child of Ben and Gene Moody. They taught me and gave me unconditional love, laughter, and a blessed life. My parents set the bar high and through all of their love, dedication, and quirks, I am the person I am today. I am successful and happy in life as a human being because of the foundation upon which my parents gave me life and living. My love for my parents is unconditional and I am grateful to them beyond words.
