Robert Daniel "Danny" Ricketts was born in 1941 and Annie Marie (Jones) Ricketts. Nancye Yvonne Barbour was born in 1948 in Danville, Virginia, the daughter of Ray Edwin Barbour and Ruby Mae (Gusler) Barbour. We were introduced by a couple we both knew - Richard and Wanda Rowland. The four of us went bowling; it was a "blind date" for us. It was called "blind" because we hadn't seen the other person before the date. A little risky...... but it worked for us. We were married in 1968 - less than six months from the day we met. That might seem fast to some, but we actually waited awhile to be sure. We own and operate this website although it has tended to take on a life of its own. For 29 years, Danny worked for the U. S. Government and was able to retire early from the Postal Service in 1992. Nancye has been a rural mail carrier for the Danville, Virginia Post Office since 1979. Both of us are the pioneering pastors of Victory Family Church in Danville, Virginia, which started in May 2007. Life is getting more interesting, the older we get. We will never retire from life - retirement from the post office sounds good though. (-- Nancye) |
