Garden City 'Ladies' Man' seeks wife stirs national interest
Robert Todd, 55, a twice divorced Garden City resident, drew a standing ovation after being recognized as the man who advertised for a wife. Since the sign in his truck drew nationwide publicity, radio stations in New York, Maine and Oklahoma have urged contact. Todd, sober and managing apartments, seeks a 5'6" redhead, 30 to 45, 155 to 180 pounds, who enjoys oldtime country music and fishing, and can handle spicy language and public displays of affection.
