30. Tell me about a memorable moment in your life; a time you will never forget. I was so smitten by Hubert. He was so smart and sophisticated. I thought he was studying to be a banker or a lawyer.

When he said he was studying to be a preacher, I was sorely disappointed. I'd been to St. Jude's Catholic Church back in Missoula to cater weddings but other than that, I'd never really been to church.
