Wayne Cozart
Okay, you want to start or you want me to?
Pat Lampkin
You go ahead.
I'll correct you.
Wayne Cozart
1979 when we got here
was really the old University.
Pat Lampkin
Doors weren't locked, there were no signs.
It was also of a place that had values
and culture and an identity.
And the best part of it was that
it was allowed to change.
Wayne Cozart
Both Pat and I came in 1979,
she was working for housing.
I was working in the dean of students office
and she would walk by
and so I would say hello to her.
Pat Lampkin
We didn't necessarily like each other.
Wayne Cozart
I was going to say that.
Pat Lampkin
Okay.
Wayne Cozart
Six years later, I decided
to take her out on a date.
Pat Lampkin
That was our only date.
Wayne Cozart
That's right.
Wayne Cozart
We were married on Halloween
because the chapel was available
and therefore our anniversary is
trick or treating on the Lawn
Living in Pavilions for
for 19 years was an absolute joy.
Pat Lampkin
We experienced a lot of things together
when there weren't people around.
both in the feeling of the space
and the feeling for each other
and you knew it was very special.
Wayne Cozart
If we've never had a honeymoon,
and we can't celebrate our anniversary
every year, then you rely
on moments in order to build
and maintain a relationship.
Pat Lampkin
I mean, it's changed our lives.
Right? Right.
I do feel incredibly lucky
that we've had a pretty rich life.
Wayne Cozart
Yeah, absolutely.
