Interesting fact about you? Jason and Leslie are high school sweethearts. Leslie didn’t like Jason very much at first. Jason would tie her hair to the fence at the pool in the summer. A few years ago, they were at a basketball game and one of their teachers from fourth grade, Carole Kinard, said how cute it was that they were married. Carole recalled how Jason had written about marrying the new girl in school, Leslie, some day. His vision came to a reality.
