_ One of the most questions that people ask me the most would be, how did you meet your husband Ricky?
And I had heard about this great hairstylist that was in my hometown in Gainesville, Georgia.
And so I decided one day that I was actually traveling with a Neyland.
So when I was home one day, I thought, you know what, I'm going to call that guy that
I heard was really good at cutting hair.
But of course I heard he was cute.
But that's really not the original reason that I called him, I promise.
I just needed somebody to do my hair.
But when I called Ricky, he didn't have anything available.
So I said, well hey, if you could just, I'm going to be in town just a couple more days.
If I could just come in, you cut it, and that's all you have to do.
You don't have to fix it.
He said, okay, well I'll work you in.
So I had to get up early the next morning, didn't have hardly any makeup on, had a jogging
suit on, and my hair in a ponytail.
And when I walked in that hair salon and saw Ricky Gooch, I thought, oh my goodness.
I could not believe that that's who they'd been talking about this whole time.
I thought he was so cute.
And so we were sitting there, and I was trying to talk to him.
And he would just answer my questions when I would ask, and that was about it.
So I asked him, I said, well do you like gospel music?
And he says, well I love the primitives.
Well I knew I liked them then, because I loved the primitive quartets.
So I thought there was something special about this one.
So anyway, so he cut my hair and that was it.
So the next day I thought, well I'm going to call him and give him every opportunity
to ask me out, because I will not ask him.
So anyway, so I called him up and I said, hey Ricky, this is Karen.
Just wanted to let you know that you did a great job on my hair.
And I just wanted to thank you for working me in.
And he said, okay, thank you.
And that was it.
So I thought, well the next week I was back in town and my mom and I were near his hair
salon and I said, Mama, I'm going into that shop and I'm going to see that Ricky Gooch
again and I'm going to buy some hairspray and maybe he'll ask me out.
So I walked in and he came from where he was in the back of the store and I bought some
hairspray.
And he said that would be $4.53.
And I went to reach in to give him a $5 bill and then I thought, _ _ because it's got my phone
number on the check.
So I wrote a check for $4.53.
_ And so that night he called me and asked me out and we got married three and a half years
later and I've been married since 1989 and he's still the love of my life. _ _ _ _
