The springtime of love
I thought I'd dig out some of the old family photos. These are my parents:
Whoops. No, that's not it. The fellow on the right is Filipino businessman Virgilio "Gil" Hilario, who bravely married the Finnish winner of the first Miss Universe pageant, Armi Kuusela.
These are my parents.
Spring, 1968. The year after Loving versus Virginia.

Posted by: Carlos at August 18, 2005 04:56 PMYour dad hasn't aged a day either, which is kind of frightening. I haven't seen your mom in probably 15 years, though. It is a lovely photo.
Posted by: Carrie at August 18, 2005 05:40 PMMrs. Yu is very pretty (in the picture she reminded me of a young Faye Dunaway http://geraldofreire.uol.com.br/faye_dunaway.jpg )
As per Mr. Yu, well it my experience that most men squirm at the thought that any one would find their father cute- so I'll say no more.
And we know something of the story of the your parents but what of Gil and Armi?

Ah. Maybe you have a point.
Well I couldn't wait

Gracious, Miss Kuusela could have ended up as Mrs. Tony Curtis.
And there is a Jussi Hilario out there somewhere.
