How Did They Meet?

The couple met on a double date. It was love since then, and they were on a date in Rochester, N.Y. This was in 1961 when the love story started. There is a small twist though.

Boog explains her as very shy during that time, and he also tells that she had a high figure. She was beautiful according to Boog. 

There is a twist here, though, and it is not as easy as you have thought. As they were on a date, she was dating someone else. 

Janet was on a date with Boog's friend.

He was astonished by her beauty, and he jokingly said to his friend, 

"We gotta do a switcheroo…

It seems all funny now, but they really did so, and now Janet was with Boog. 

He was playing for Orioles First Baseman during that time, and the couple dated all summer. It was a great love story in the making. 

His wife has said, 

"I couldn’t have asked for anybody better to share my life with,” said Mr. Powell, her husband of 56 years. “I loved her with all my heart, and I still do." 

His wife was a real estate professional.
