Husband-and-wife duo Randy and Mickey Shannon grew up just 5 miles apart from each other in northeast Kansas.
According to Mickey, the pair met in middle school after their separate school districts in Waterville, her hometown, and Blue Rapids, Randy s hometown, consolidated to form Valley Heights Unified School District 498. That’s where I met him, Mickey said.
She was a year younger than Randy. And as she entered her freshman year of high school, the pair began dating.
