"Job
the patient" (2396 BC - 2116 BC)
|
My surname is derived from the Biblical prophet "Job" (pronounced "Jōbe"), which in modern Italian translates to "Giobbe" (or "Giobbé", when translated from the ancient Italian name "EE-yove"). My paternal ancestral family has, at one time or another, used both surname spelling conventions, as have I. |

Staci Layne Wilson proposed to me by using the fortune in a fortune cookie that was served to me after our Valentine's Day dinner at a Chinese restaurant. It was not the first time I was proposed marriage. That was 1988. We were married on the Mark and Brian KLOS morning radio show on Valentine's Day, 1989. A kangaroo was our ring bearer. This was my only marriage (my son is from a previous affaire d'amour). I filed to divorce Staci in 2011. We were married 22 years, some great, some not so, but all of it interesting, and are still a famous couple? Yes, that's the actual fortune cookie with Staci's proposal inserted inside that Staci had our waiter serve me - saved over all these years. |
