Susan Kuhnhausen Turned The Tables On Her Hitman And Proved Every Woman Could Be A Hero

Susan Met Her Husband In A Personal Ad That Was Placed By Her Mother

Susan moved to Oregon in the early 1980s to pursue a career in nursing. She recently became a registered nurse and settled briefly in Coos Bay before deciding on Portland. She wasn’t so lucky in love, after being so focused on her career, and in 1988, her mother placed a personal ad for Susan in the Willamette Week. The ad claimed she was “someone different” who was looking for someone who “wants more out of a relationship than just ‘slender.'” Mike reached out to Susan, and they spoke on the phone for the first time on Jan. 30, 1988. They spoke on the phone for hours before meeting in person.
