Jeanna Gustavson was just a freshman in college when she first met Steve Watts, who was a senior at the time. The pair happened to be a gathering of the German Club at Loyola University Chicago in 1971. There were many students there but for whatever fateful reason, they caught each other’s eye and couldn’t let go of it. They had no idea what was in store for them.

Jeanne was immediately smitten by how handsome he looked, and became even more fond when she started talking to him. She remembers that he was:  “extremely handsome, dressed impeccably, always a gentleman—everything you’d want in a boyfriend.”
