Rare Find
Chris, and Pam Dunn celebrated their 25th anniversary, with friends and family on April 25, 2008.
Twenty-five years ago it was very rare for couples to meet on line and later marry.
Don Dunn remembers when his son Chris told him that he had meet the girl that he was going to marry on the computer. Don thought it was a joke.
After talking to each other for several months Chris booked a flight to New York so that he could meet Pam. One year after their meeting Pam, and Chris were married on April 23rd, 1983.
Chris said, "I found a girl that I feel in love with on the computer, and 25 years later I am still in love."
At the time Chris, and Pam meet each other on line it was almost unheard of. In 1982 there were few computers in homes so the idea of meeting a date on line was alien to most people.
Chris, and Pam appeared on Good Morning America, The Phil Donahue Show, and 20/20 in 1983, telling their story. The couple also appeared in numerous magazine, and newspaper articles.
When Chris's father was asked if he was surprised that the marriage had lasted 25 years his reply was " Obviously they are a good match, I guess it was fate.
