WOMAN. WOOED BY w RD

First comes
ersonal ad,

then comes

marriage

KAY and Tom Mulleder have
reason to believe that adver-
tisements work.

The couple met after Kay, 46,
placed a classified ad in the per-
sonal section of the North Shore
Mews, and Tom, 48, responded.

Married April 12, the couple
returned last week from a Hawai-
ian honeymoon.

“Our circles would never have -

crossed,’’ said Kay, a psychology
student. Her husband works as the

general manager for United Flower :

Growers.

. “I’ve been recommending. (place .
ing classified ads) to ‘my friends, :
but maybe ours was a fluke,”’ she

‘Said,

:” “] thought very carefully before
I put the ad in the paper: It’s the
only time I’ve ever done something
like that.

MEETING PEOPLE

“I figured I had to meet new
people and why not take a
chance.”’

Kay said it was the fi irst time
Tom had responded to a classified
ad, and he was the last out of ap-
proximately one dozen men to
write.

“I was fooking for someone
with the right attitude,’’ she said.

‘*Tom wrote a simple letter in-
troducing himself. was in-
telligently written and showed a
touch of sensitivity."’.

The ad, that ran August 16,
described Kay as a ‘‘good looking,
slim lady with flair.’”

She requested a male compa-
nion, between the ages of 40 and
55, ‘‘personally secure and in-
telligent enough to find adventure
in everyday Occurrences.”

Both Kay and Tom _ were
previously married. She is the
mother of a daughter, 27, and a
son, 25, and Tom's boys, 19 and
16, now live with the couple.

ENCOURAGED
Tom had been divorced for five

years and Kay for 10 years.
She said it was Tom’s sons who

“encouraged him to remarry.

‘He proposed i in January.

“We: just started discovering
each other - on our dates,’ said
Kay.

“*We were still seeing other peo-
ple, but that gradually phased out
because I realized there was some-
thing very special.

“He’s fantastic. Tom genuinely
likes people and that’s very easy to

.. live with,”’

Kay said they share similar tastes
in music, food and wine, and she
said although their circle of inter-
ests sometimes differ, they are
supportive of one another.

She said Tom participates in
associations relating to his
business, and Kay volunteers to
work with battered women and
alcoholics.

. North America’s hotiest new cuisine”

KAY AND Tom Mulleder toast -
each other on their wedding day.
The North Vancouver couple met
after Kay placed a classified ad in
the North Shore News, looking for
a companion. Tom was the last
person to respond to the ad, and
after a seven-month courtship the
two were married.
