I’m originally from Texas and went to Texas A&M. Aggie men knew how to treat a lady.
Most of the boys that I worked with were from Texas. However, we all moved to California for a job. California must have rubbed off of them too much.
Of course, my husband was one of the nice guys who knew how to treat a lady, and I married him. He was a good combo of Texas & California. Liked smart women, and he knew how to treat them.
Your husband sounds like he was a very lovely man...one who could claim the mantle Southern Gentleman.
They are rare nowadays...
