If there’s one noun that could describe John McCook aptly, It’s “charmer”. So it’s no big surprise that on the day he met future wife Laurette Spang, he threw her a line that she just couldn’t resist. “We were at a party and we were talking about our situations – who we were, etc.,” he says. “We both knew we were going to see each other again in a month or so at another party, so when it was time to leave, I just said to her, ‘Don’t run off and get married or anything.’” Having no pressing engagements to speak of, Spang graciously obliged McCook’s request – until he popped the question himself, that is. The couple celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary in February. “Twenty years,” he marvels. “That’s a big deal!”
