friend a 30th birthday card
(which was lost in the mail and
never arrived), and Patti Mon-
heit occasionally spoke about her
long-lost love to her friends in
Colorado.
By the time their 20th high-
school reunion came around in
1993, both their marriages were
over. The school-spirited Ms.
Monheit decided to fly into De-
troit to see her local friends and
family. The newly divorced Mr.
Gold didn't find out about the re-
union until the afternoon of the
event, when a friend asked if he
was going.
Never a social butterfly in high

She was a conservative and

nights babysitting.
But opposites attracted when
they met as freshmen at South-
field High School. They dated for
four years as each other's "first
and only love" until the big
breakup in the middle of their se-
nior year.
That was the end of the fairy-
tale romance for Marty Gold and
Patti Monheit. Or so they
thought.

The Golds: In high school, they were inseparable.
Now, after seeing each other
at their 20th high-school reunion,
Marty Gold, 42, and Patti Mon-
heit-Gold, 41, are celebrating
their second wedding anniver-
sary — and living happily ever
after.
"It seems hard to believe that
we're together," says Mr. Gold.
"We have a very special rela-
tionship that we wouldn't have
had had we not broken up in high
school."
After their 1973 graduation,
they went their separate ways
and established different lives.
Mr. Gold "kept a pretty low pro-
file." He briefly attended Wayne
State University, joined the fam-
ily heating and cooling business
and married.
Patti Monheit ventured out to
the University of Colorado, mar-
ried at the age of 20, graduated
with honors with a business and
public administration degree and
became a CPA.
Although they never saw each
other after high school, they re-
mained in each other's thoughts.
Mr. Gold sent his former girl-
condition: if his long-lost love
would be there, too.
After verifying Ms. Monheit's
name on the guest list, the deci-
sion was made. He didn't know
her marital status, but he cleaned
himself up, rushed to the reunion
banquet and arrived just after
dinner.
Then, across the crowded
room, he saw her.
"It was instant electricity,"
says Mr. Gold. 'That certain feel-
ing, that certain emotion was
there."
Mrs. Gold agrees. 'We were
each other's first love and hadn't
seen each other in 20 years.
There was definitely an unex-
plainable connection."
Following the reunion, they
talked for hours on the phone and
visited. The more time they spent
together, the more they knew
that they were headed for a per-
manent commitment.
Although there was no tradi-
tional proposal, Mr. Gold asked
Ms. Monheit's father for permis-
sion to wed his daughter. On July
3, 1994, Marty Gold and Patti
