Serendipity

by Alice

Back in 1996, when my husband LOU and I were married only for two years, we were sort of planning to have our first family car but never got around to inquire about loans and stuff. The closest to effort that we did was sending raffle entries to the HOPE -WINSTON SUPERSTAKE where we hoped to win a LANCER GLXI which was my hubby’s dream car.

Then one day, we saw a brand new Lancer GLXI parked in front of my neighbor. It was for sale. After a few inquiries, we knew that car was meant for us.

Not just because it was in silver which was my husband’s favorite car color.
Nor was it because the owner, Mr AGUILAR, was also named LOU like my husband.

What clinched the deal was when we found out that LOU AGUILAR won the car in the HOPE-WINSTON SUPERSTAKE and he had to sell it to buy prosthetics for his wife who LOST HER LEGS IN A CAR ACCIDENT.

Immediately, we approached a bank to apply for a car loan. And we could only smile to ourselves when the loan officer introduced herself as Kathy AGUILAR.
