Love me, love my records. No problems so far (41 years this December, and she 
knew what she was getting into..I hope).

All girlfriends were musical or in radio, so there were always common interests.

There are a few husband-and-wife couples in attendance at CAPS meetings, and I 
know several married collectors and dealers whose wives are supportive and even 
collect their own specialties. And I know a few whose marriages didn't survive 
or were tenuous at times..one shellac widow notified friends of her husband's 
passing, then asked when I was going to take all the records (and I did!).
