Karon (Swanson) `69 and LaMar Wyse `68

 Karon (Swanson) `69 and LaMar Wyse `68


I earned a few extra dollars in college accompanying voice students. I had my full load for the semester (fall, 1966), but Mrs. Bartlett pleaded with me to take one more -- " this sweet girl with an angelic voice who just transferred to Malone and has no one to accompany her." She introduced us, and I agreed. (Was she actually match-making?) It was strictly an employer/employee relationship, of course.......we were both dating other people. But by the end of the semester that began to change as we sometimes did more talking than practicing. The next semester we began dating and got engaged on Valentine's Day, 1968, exactly 54 years ago. So the relationship evolved from transactional to friendship to romance. And it continues to this day.

He was a boy from Cincinnati and I, a girl from Cleveland, from complete opposite ends of the state and here we were meeting in Canton, Ohio. We learned that we had both been at Malone's Scholar's Day event the year before but never saw each other! During our first year at MU we hung out with the same core group of friends all five of us were pretty inseparable. Our time together as a group was spent watching movies or playing games in the Barn, going to Late Night in the cafeteria especially on nugget night, playing ping pong in the lounge of Gurney (PGB) or Froggy's, watching American Idol in dorms, or making trips to Taco Bell. Band and chorale were the major social outlets for both of us and being in such frequent company made it easy to grow fond of each other. We began dating the summer after our freshma...
