After far too long, Lester Ward has finally come to his senses and asked Eva Swoboda to marry him. (And on a beach at sunset, no less.)
		Even after enduring years of courtship, Eva is still willing to put up with him, so has accepted his proposal.
			The date is not yet set, nor is the place, illustrating the same type of bold, decisive decisionry the couple has shown since meeting in college.
				Jesús, the stuffed platypus who has accompanied them all over the world, has made no public comment, but does seem enamored of the sparkling hunk of carbon (of questionable utility) Eva now wears on her finger.
