When Gregory Megee met Summer Espinoza, it was February 7, 2017, in the Special Collections Research Center at the Henry Madden Library.

Greg was a new assistant in Special Collections doing his utmost to get the "9066: Japanese American Voices from the Inside" exhibition up and running. And Summer Espinoza,* the director of Archives and Special Collections for the Go For Broke National Education Center in Los Angeles (now Digital Archivist at CSU, Dominguez Hills), was in town to set up her center's part of the exhibition.

There was an instant connection between the two as they realized they enjoy shared pastimes, both hail from the L.A. area and have a deep and abiding interest in and commitment to history. After a tea date and many, many long-distance phone conversations, a love connection was formed and Greg and Summer officially became a couple in March.

By June, they were engaged. Their wedding is set for Saturday, October 28, at the Alamitos branch of the Long Beach Public Library (built in 1929, so appropriate for two library love birds). A true library love story.

*Summer is known to some people on campus as she used to be former president John D. Welty's scheduler and had been an intern in Special Collections several years before.
