They Found Magic on Broadway
Miriam Cruz-Colon and her husband Oscar Colon remember meeting as acting students in 1959
Somehow a friend of ours want us to be together in a scene. And we were supposed to meet in front of the Yeats Soliven Thearter on 52 ST on Broadway .Oscar was late ,we went to Hectors .
Hectors is a restaurant on Broadway .
We sat down and the moment I said down ,there was an electricity .
There's magic .
We never did the scene.
But we got married ,it's even better .
He went to the army and he was the only guy that would get 3 or 4 letters a day because I wrote to him every single day .
It was a joke in the militaries .Koln ,letter ,Koln. Everybody's standing there,nobody id getting letters .Koln ,we are in the middle of the bomb dust .
And we have about 700 letters in a box that one day we are gonna publish .
We got be dead before they are published . And we were married how long ,let's see ..remember now ?
43 years . Thank you !
We've been married and it's been the greatest thing in my life because Oscar is a special being .He is a little impatient ,impetous ,I call him .....
Never had a youth . He is like a baby ,and that is what I love about him .
Maril you are without doubt a good and giving persom ,much more giving than I .

Oscar ,you've given me your time.,your ear ,you always paid attention to the kids .I was always running around doing my acting . You had the patience,you had a special ability that I think I never told you of stopping ,whatever you were doing, you could be in a big meeting ,who care you would stop and listen to me and the kids .And ,and that
Saintly., I would say that . Yes ,to marry me you have to be a saint .
