American Olean Tile Co. – Dal Tile Co. – in Olean, New York

I worked here for 32 years, and Sherry worked here for 17 years before we transferred to Northern Va.

The upper right-hand corner is the shipping department where I worked.

The upper left-hand corner is where I started in 1967!

Sherry worked in payroll, and I had to go through there to the traffic manager’s office to discuss shipping and billing.

One day I was on my way back through payroll when a lady named Grace stopped me.

She asked me if she could ask a question, and I said sure.

A very old picture of where I lived in Eldred, PA. –

Near the church with the steeple upper right of this picture.

I lived about a block from the WWII museum.

She said, ” I understand you are getting a divorce”?

I answered, “That is correct.” –

And I did not know what I was going to do or where I was going to live.

It was a short conversation, and I went on to my desk next to the shipping bays.

About ten minutes later –

The door opened, and Sherry came out with a handful of shipping bills and packing slips.

She said she had overheard my conversation with Grace and that she was also going through a divorce.

A CHANCE CONVERSATION that showed we both had something in common.

We talked, and I asked her if she would like to have a drink in the next few days!

She said yes, and that was how we got together.

Our divorces became final, and a year and a half later we were married.

6-25-1982!

A CHANCE CONVERSATION – OVERHEARD –

I did not know about her divorce, nor she about mine.

FATE intervened.

Now, 45-plus years later after that conversation –

We live here in Cameron Woods Community.

We retired from American Olean Tile- Dal Tile with 79 1/2 years of service-

Between the two of us.

All because a CHANCE CONVERSATION OVERHEARD –

Brought us together.
