'White Owl' set to tie the knot
A popular Lawrence figure plans to tie the knot at the age of 61. His bride-to-be is a mere 39 years younger - but that hasn't stopped the couple from further pursuing their spiritual connection.

In your notes, on the con side, be sure to add that most of the 'youngers' in the equation (men and women) at some point later will express that they were going through a really bad time back then, and they have turned their life completely around, have met the love of their lives, are a totally different person now. They hope things have gotten better for you and wish you the very best in the future.
But heck, if you can enjoy the “younger” as a play toy while it lasts..it's probably worth it!

Sorry but even when I was 22, I recognized that girls that age may think they know more than anyone about everything, but they make weekly make some pretty foolish decisions and try to enforce their “youthful but well intended” rulings on those around them.
From 16 to 24, someone needs to still be guiding both sexes.
Many women I've talked to said that around 25, they grew up and saw how they had been behaving for years.

Because I wouldn't want to marry a fat chick. I can't imagine anyone wanting to marry a fat chick. Gross.
Now, can anyone explain to me the difference between this statement and the majority of the statements on this thread?

Cracks me up.
A few years ago I was dating an older man. His hair was white, mine was blonde. We could have just as easily been father and daughter. (His children were my age.)
We were standing in line at the movies here in town, and this group of younger people (at least 25) were not far away.
This one woman started yelling..not talking, but shouting,
“Look at that old man with that pretty young thing! What makes him think she should waste her time on his nasty old self?.etc,etc, etc.” The others in the group said some things, but didn't shout it out loud.
I just held still and prayed he was hard of hearing enough to not hear her! He never blinked or commented, so maybe he didn't.
The relationship had it's good and bad. I dealt with the issues by playing Eminem on my car stereo as I drove to his house..Loud!
Last time I talked to him, it was pretty clear he has Alzheimer's. That marriage would have been a very short time of 'normal', maybe two years, before his thinking was truly altered.

A 60+ yr old friend of mine always wore a beard. He looks just like Richard Dreyfuss in Jaws, and he's also a bio oceanographer. People called him Eric the Red, like the pillaging viking (excellent observation I think).
When I last saw him, he warned me beforehand that when his beard turned, he shaved it so he wouldn't look so old.

i just moved to lawrence recently. i thought i was moving to a city of open-minded, open-hearted people. i hope the majority of persons posting a response to this story are not representative of lawrence as a whole.
my companion of nearly three years is 30+ years younger than i am. i'm aware of a KU prof in a similar relationship, would you like to smear him as well?

you bet!
rofl..couldn't help it..sorry.
(I date KU profs and know the kinky secrets LOL)
Since when does being a prof make them above normal human behavioral quirks!
They would be the first ones laughing at that statement!
I've got to email this one.

I think everybody who is disgusted and are insulting White Owl and Julia should be ashamed of themselves!
If you have exalted yourself so much that you believe you have the power to judge this man and this woman - then maybe you should go talk to White Owl ! I'm sure after an actual conversation with him you will completely change your mind. Maybe you won't, but that would be your loss.
As a 21 year old friend of White Owl I am in complete support of him. I have only met Julia briefly but know White Owl well. He may be older but in heart and spirit he is very young. He is not a dirty old man - he is a kind, beautiful man with a dream to inspire the masses with his messages of love and encouragement. Yes he is a bit tricksy and loves a good joke, but good for him !
And to those who think he is glorified - your very admittance to interest in him by posting in this forum makes you directly guilty of this “glorification” you are talking about.
Lawrence has a long history of embracing the extraordinary. Let us not regress now in this crucial moment in time ! A new generation is emerging and will be full force very soon. You can sit there and shake your head out of fear, or you can jump and cheer and tell the children “Follow what you know in your heart because it will not lead you astray” as this man has.
White Owl may not be an ideal role model to all, but he is an incredible mentor to all who go to him. He makes the kids smile on campus, he puts pep in their step, he'll always take the time to listen to anyone even if he's never met them. If life is giving you lemons White Owl will tell you to make lemonade and play a song and dance for you while you do it. Lawrence is blessed to have him, the students of KU are blessed to have him, and I truly believe that if you can't see this then you ARE in fact jealous of him.
Congratulations White Owl and Julia ! I could care less whether this works out in the end or not - its obviously working NOW and as long as you are happy NOW then what more could you ask for ? Good for you guys! Love and Blessings.

I love it. A subtle, yet incredibly appropriate, reference to Harold and Maude. They should have the song sung at their wedding.

I predict that this thread lives for at least a week. There is too much good material here to work with:
- Jokes about defibrillators
- Jokes about Viagra
- Jokes about how long this will last (divorce)
- Jokes about how long this will last (he's old!)
- Jokes about “taking notes” and how “He's my hero”
- Absurd statements about how lovely this is (Sorry, but the judgmental part of me is raging right now. How did he get a girl that young? A: She's 22 going on 13 and doesn't have a clue.)
- Complaints about judgmental statements
- Complaints about liberals and conservatives and how the old man is connected to the war in Iraq…
This thread will last longer than the marriage, I'm guessing. Poor judgement on everyone's part is what I'm saying, and I don't even know the couple.
