First

Before I was born- This is part of my life because I was blessed to be the first daughter of Vida Leone Fugal and Arthur Alfred Swenson who were in the very early courtship part of their life.  They didn't know it yet, but I figured that was the case because they were always doing things together and they both loved music.  Alfred had actually made himself a violin out of a shoe box and violin strings when he was very young and learned to play.  And   after a while his sister bought him a small childs violin which he quickly learned to play anything his mind could hear.  This impressed Vida so much that she had been admiring him for a long time.  So when he asked her to go to this dance where he played his violin and he explained that he had rest times that they could use to dance together, she accepted.  It was a dance to remember forever. It did the trick.  Yes, he soon proposed to her as they sat in the love seat in her back yard.  ...
