Couple to Release Book About Falling in Love on the Road

Back in 1968 Marshall Hockett, who would go on to become a Superior Court Judge and marry Encinitas local Debbie, was taking part in Stanford’s study program in England.

That day came in 1975 when Hockett and his wife came up with a plan to spend a year traveling all around Europe.
