As everyone knows, I can’t swim, and I hate water. We used to go on weekend stays with several other couples. While staying in a motel a group of us were in the hot tub. I got up from sitting on the edge and when stepping to get in my foot slipped. I fell in and under the water. Everyone thought it was very funny, but my girlfriend Joyce Hirsch knew I was under there swallowing dirty warm water. She grabbed me, pulled me out and sat with her arm around me. To this day she insists she saved my life. Yes, I know I could have just stood up, but it was nice to be saved.
