He was a Red Sox broadcaster and she was a reporter for the Boston Globe. Their second date was seven years later. They just returned from London where they celebrated their 22nd anniversary. "We went to a museum to see, among other things, the Magna Carta and five original Beatles lyrics, one written on a cocktail napkin," Visser said.
