Q: Irene, how did you meet Hector J. Spencer?
A: I am writing our love story in one of my upcoming books. To make a long story short, I knew him because he and my late husband, Verlan LeBaron, grew up together. He had been an LDS Mormon, who later gave up Mormonism and moved to the states.
My late husband was dead and I was lonelier than ever. I hadn't seen Hector in SIX years. Believe it or not, I cried out to God, "Who is there in life for me? I don't want to be alone."
An audible voice told me, "His name begins with an 'H', but it's not a common name."
I went crazy for about six months, doodling every name I could think of that started with an H on napkins when I was eating at restaraunts, etc. However, I NEVER thought of HECTOR.
I finally went to England with a girlfriend. We were listening to a Richard Clayterman tape. The music depressed me, reminding me of the good times with my late husband. I went to bed crying my eyes out. I prayed to God, "Who is there in life for me. I have thought of everyone!" And on that note I fell to sleep.
In my dreams, Hector J. Spencer appeared to me with the biggest smile from ear to ear. He winked and said, "You haven't thought of me!"
I woke up elated. It starts with "H" and it's Hector! I called my best friend to share the news and she informed me that his daughter had just won Miss Pre-teen Utah. She also told me that he had been divorced for two years. I called to congratulate him and the rest is history!
He made me the one and only favorite for which that I am thankful!
