The Spare

<p>Our marriage was given about two weeks to two months to survive. We stood two chances of making it work out<span style=color: rgba(32 33 36 1)>-</span>slim and none. But through commitment and stubbornness we hung in there. The name <em>sumpter</em> is in the dictionary and says a packhorse which I relate to a mule telling Bill he was stubborn as mule. This book tells a little of the years we live in Rapid City and how we grew. I'm sure there are others that have endured more turmoil and grief but this is my tale of those formative years of marriage.</p>
