The woman who looked after the man who was in a coma for seven years, a love story...

In the fall of 1977, Diana Peters worked as a dispatcher at the Ceres Police Department.

Steve May, just 21 at the time, came in one day for a job interview with Chief Leroy Cunningham. Diana decided instantly that she disliked him.

"He was so cocky and arrogant and conceited," she said. "After he left, I marched right into the chief's office and said, 'Don't hire him. We have a reserve officer who's been waiting. (Cunningham) didn't listen."

So much for first impressions. Turned out she couldn't have been more wrong about the guy who turned out to be so right.

"He had cute eyes," she conceded. More...
