The Extraordinary Marriages of Suzy and Ben

A lifelong journey of love and respect, and it begins with a young man and woman while working at Circle Star Theatre in San Carlos, California on the evening of October 16, 1964. However, working in the theater wasn't in their futures, yet that set the stage for their lifecycles. Catering to celebrities like Kim Novak, Nat King Cole, Ann-Margaret, Johnny Mathis, and others exhausted his patience. Delivering telegrams, setting up stage equipment, ushering celebrities to dressing rooms, working intermissions, and not calling the police when disturbances started, that was upper management's responsibility.

What moves their story forward into a relationship is not becoming celebrities in a theatrical sense of culture. They created a personal culture with their ability to adapt to social, educational, and political changes. They were in love, they married, attended colleges, acquired challenging jobs, had a child, purchased houses, divorced, traveled, all in a lifetime of respect and love. Working at Circle Star Theatre changed their lives by discovering what they did and didn't want as a couple, and love and respect was the best part of it.
