A Match Made in Heaven Special-interest groups for singles can be generic and nonsectarian, or religious in orientation. When Linda Ballard was 45, her husband of 26 years died. From the minute Wally walked through the door, I thought he was the nicest man in the world. After two months, he asked me to marry him. We both believe God intervened and brought us together.
Commonalities are natural in specialty groups.
But sometimes you can count on a comrade to see beyond the surface to some similarity under the skin. An awful lot of people still think fix-ups from friends are the best way to connect with new people. There was surprisingly little talk of meeting fellow travelers on the electronic superhighway. Patience allowed for a voyeuristic party-line experience, with callers from all over the country. The problems of finding the matchless match transcend sexual orientation.
