                                ~ CARLTON C. WHATLEY MEETS PATRICIA MERRITT HITCHMON ~


                                 The path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more to the perfect day.

                                                                   Proverbs 4:18 (AKJV)


                                                           Carl and Pat ‒ A Perfect Union!



                                                        Our Love Story as Told to Me by Carl


        After the devastating Hurricane Andrew struck Miami in August of 1992, Carl began to move around the country looking for a place

        time. They had worked together in the airline business as skycaps, which was a great paying job because it had great tips! His friends,
