Allison: I’m an East Coast girl, but I took a job in St. Louis. I met Marc on the first day of my job as a reporter for a television station there. We were covering the same event, and he just came over and introduced himself. I would see Marc around and felt that we liked each other. He asked me out, and like they say, the rest is history.
But, he asked me out, and then, we didn’t speak for a couple of months, until I had to call him and ask him—well I won’t tell you what I said—but I did say to him, ‘What happened, did you quit me?’ And he said, ‘I was just going to call you giirrrrl’. So, when we finally went on our date, we were really inseparable. Everything moved rather quickly once we got on the same page. We met in August 1998, engaged the following June, and then married in April of 2000.
Marc: I know it sounds a cliché, but I really was just getting ready to call Allison. I was trying to get my life together because she was serious. That line, ‘You quit me’ was really a clue as to why I not only love her so much but also like her so much. It was so funny and perfect. When she said that, I melted. So, after that, we started seeing each other and have been together ever since. We were at the right time in our lives.
Wonderful story. How old is Allison?
Thank you, I’ve just been looking for info about this topic for
ages and yours is the best I have found out till now. But,
what about the bottom line? Are you positive concerning the supply?
I would like to know who does your hair, it is so beautiful. I love it because I wear my hair short and it’s gray, so I would like a new look and yours looks like I could possibly pull it off. My name is Valerie Augustus and my cell number is 240-426-7118.
Allison, I love watching you and the team first thing in the mornings. I find myself often just bursting out laughing. Like this morning when you made the comment, “if you love them let them go and they may come back” and crazy Tucker said, “it hasn’t worked for me”. I laugh so much as I am getting ready for work.
On a serious note, our foundation (The Y-U Breast Cancer Foundation)is being introduced to the Waldorf Md. Community on Saturday, Oct. 10th (11:00 – 2:00p.m.) Our event will be held at the Waldorf Business Suites located at 3195 Old Washington Rd. Waldorf, Md. We would love to have you and Fox 5 there to broadcast if possible. In fact, I suggested instead of solely focusing on our foundation, I asked that we focus on all the small businesses at the Business Suites. We are hoping to have the fire dept, sheriff’s dept, facepainting for the kids, hopefully a moonbounce for the kids and much more. Please bring your kids. The owner of Food Scooter and Dash In will be a part of the event as well. To learn more about me, please feel free to google: Doretha Burrell and Dee Burrell. It would be lovely to have you all there. My mobile # is: 215-913-7684. I work in DC at Dupont Circle as the personal assistant to Judge Stanley Sporkin.
