Fell in Love at The US Grant

Starting in 1958, at age 8, I would sometimes go to work with my dad on the weekends. He owned a photography studio just two blocks from the hotel, and we would often have lunch at the hotel restaurant - I assume the Grant Grill.

From 1967-1969 I worked at a photography studio located inside the US Grant, and there I met the woman who would later be my wife. We worked together for more than 2 years before I finally got the nerve to ask her out. Our first date was also at the Grant Grill, and for a terrified teenager, I thought the evening went surprising well. Seeing as how we were married 6 months later, I'm sure she thought so too.

All the best for another 100 years.
