BENNINGTON â For John Staley and Patti Love, the road to the Putnam Block began 18 years ago and 1,788 miles away, and ended on Dec. 1 when they moved into their new apartment as newlyweds.
The couple, originally from Texas, met in 2002 at the Unity Bookstore in Houston. Love volunteered at the bookstore on the weekends and came in one Saturday to lend a hand when a man caught her eye.
âI walked into the bookstore and walked up to the counter where all these cash registers were. Then I looked over there and here sat this man, and I hadnât seen him in the bookstore before. I walked over to him and said âIâm Patti Love. Whatâs your name?ââ said Love.
