Project Everlasting: The Chemistry of Life-Long Love

Two young bachelors hit the road to discover our country's greatest loves.
(Page 3 of 10)
 

TANGO: So how did Project Everlasting get started?

Mat: It all started with my grandparents. They have the most adorable love story. [Editor’s note: As if by magic, the background music in the diner changes. Cue Etta James’ At Last. Everybody laughs.]

TANGO: Sorry, you were saying…?

Mat: Well, it wouldn’t have happened if my grandpa hadn’t been diagnosed with cancer. My mom said, “You need to start spending time with your grandparents.” So we started going out once a week. We called it Adventures With A Professor. Each week my grandma would pick some out-of-the-way place for us to have lunch, sometimes two hours outside of Oregon, and we’d talk all the way there. I was going through a bad break-up with a girl I thought I would marry, so that’s how it all got started.

TANGO: How did Jason get involved?

    I was just wondering, Matt and Jason, how you found these couples to interview? Did you run an ad or just through word of mouth? I am considering writing a book and interviewing people, but it’s not in the same vein/topic as what you have done. But, I was wondering what is the best way to find your subjects to interview? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Congratulations on your outstanding project! Thank you.

    Hey guys, you need to do a piece on we women and men in the 40 something years, who are starting over due to divorce or widowhood. PS: If you find a sharp, sexy, chocolate brother in his mid forties out there while ya working, have him “holla” at a Sistah! Be Blessed and stay Safe (I’ll keep you both in my prayers).
