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.
