Loving Creatively–Bill and Lois Cooper–married 55 years

Posted by Elva 
· April 13, 2012 

In 1978 while living in Anchorage Alaska, I started working again when our youngest son, Jerry, was a senior in high school. I had enjoyed being a stay at home mom and wife all those years. When I started working at the Anchorage Daily News, I was learning a new job and it was stressful.

About that time, the Sheraton Hotel was opening downtown. They had a beautiful jade staircase going to the 2nd floor that friends were talking about. Since we often took “drives” to check out the town, Bill suggested we drive by the new Sheraton one Saturday afternoon to take a look. So, we toured the new hotel and climbed the beautiful new jade staircase and checked out the new first floor cafe’.

Bill said, “Hey, let’s check and see if they have any rooms for the night.” I said, “NO! We haven’t any luggage. They will get the wrong idea.” “Ahhh, Honey, let’s just go see”, and he dragged me to the front desk and talked to the clerk with me hanging behind.

“Yes, I have a room for you. Do you have any luggage?”  “Yes,” Bill responded as I stood there with my mouth open in surprise. Bill had made reservations for a “special” he had seen advertised to get people interested in the new hotel. “One night with dinner and breakfast in bed the next morning.”

What a shock and wonderful surprise! Bill had had the boys run into the bathroom and put everything they thought I might need for an overnight into a paper bag and bring it to the car. He had packed a small suitcase for us and put it in the trunk. Needless to say, it was wonderful and relaxing! What a loving creative husband! This is one example of many lovely times in our 55 years of marriage!
