He has been divorced for quite some time, and she was recently divorced. I told them that I was going to post their picture on my site, but they asked me not to as they are from a small town in Alabama and this might generate rumors. I was a bit embarrassed that I hadn't even considered the possibility that they would object. But it increased my sensitivity to those possibilities.
