  	In the biography she prepared for her children and grandchildren, MayBelle writes that she and Al met when he was living with an Aunt and Uncle in Lawton. In 1932, she went on a blind date with Al's roomate, and her friend with Al. Before the evening was over, they "switched" dates, and continued to date over the next three months until his college graduation, when he returned to Flint, Michigan. They corresponded for the next 18 months, until Al found a job and asked her to come to Michigan. Her parents, who approved of him, sold a cow and bought her a bus ticket. The following weekend the young couple drove to Indiana and eloped in a ceremony officiated by Rev. Frohm, taking the train into Chicago the next day for the 1933 World's Fair. In Al's biography he called it a "fast wild ride and believe it or not we did not see the fair." When they returned to Flint, they were greeted with a Shiveree, and the newleyweds ended up at the corner beer garden treating friends to drinks until their money was exhausted. Two months after their weddding, Al was laid off. They moved in with his parents, where the lived for the next 12 years.
