Title

Kenneth Got Rid of Things and Margaret Saved Things

Description

Kenneth tended to have little and get rid of things, but Margaret's habit was to collect and keep. This put the young couple on opposite ends as they entered marriage. Margaret was sometimes hurt by Kenneth throwing away things she would like to keep. "I finally learned a few things," says Kenneth. "Not many, but some."
