title: October Bold
author: Stewart, Gil
description: THEY WERE TOGETHER FOR A BRIEF DANCE-FLOOR MOMENT, before going their separate ways. Even in their mid- sixties the possibility of ‘more; was intriguing. But he was in Iowa, she in Oregon. THERE WERE DEFINITELY CHALLENGES TO BE OVERCOME----the miles that kept them apart, a mutual timidity, and their own determined unwillingness to risk relational failure. SOMETHING NEW WOULD BE REQUIRED to fulfill the promise of their first moments together. There were friends to help them along the way. But success would require something more. PERHAPS SOMETHING AS UNLIKELY as a dose of October boldness.
