LOVE AND BOXING
Joe and Anita met and fell in love over boxing. But, in a twist, it was Anita who was teaching the class. Both were students at the College of Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass, at the time, but Joe was one month from graduating and returning to Chicago. The two stayed in contact through phone calls and emails and, when Joe was offered a job in Boston, he grabbed it. The two have been a couple ever since.
