SYNOPSIS: Grandma has said that in the history of their marriage there was never a day that Grandpa didn't tell her that he loved her. Grandpa would say, "There was a man who told his wife, 'If ever I don't love you I'll tell you. ' But that is not us. I think we should be using those three words every day. I love you." In 1928 Josie Lou Lydia Walker was thirty-two years old. Everyone assumed she would be a spinster. She had grown up poor in Oklahoma, worked her way through college, and been ordained as a minister, traveling from Oklahoma to Kentucky to Missouri setting up religious education programs. World War I veteran B. B. Blakey, co-owner of a Tulsa, Oklahoma, hardware store, was thirty-three and had broken off an engagement with a local beauty. Having second thoughts, he went to Enid, Oklahoma, to see her at the home of friends-and one Josie Walker opened the door. B. B. and Josie would write over seven hundred letters to each other over the next year and a half as they fell deeply in love. As Josie traveled through a more innocent America, B. B. 's letters marked "Personal" and "Special Delivery" found her in small towns and train stops. Now this wonderful exchange of writing, so filled with the joy of discovering each other, is collected here by B. B. and Jo's granddaughter, award-winning photographer Keri Pickett. Along with their commentary on love, marriage, and family, she shows us a relationship most people only dream about-and to which all of us aspire. Rich, giving, and passionate, the love of Josie and B. B. comes to life on these pages. Wonderful photographs of them into their nineties capture their emotions so eloquently and poignantly that they touch our hearts and make us witnesses to a lifelong love that time only deepens, and death cannot end. Love in the 90s is an inspiring book to read, cherish, and share with family, lovers, and friends. Keri Pickett, winner of a Bush Foundation Fellowship, Jerome Foundation Grant, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, and other prestigious awards, is a regular contributor to People magazine and other national publications. Her photographs of her grandparents have been featured in Life, The Village Voice, and the Utne Reader.
