Couples say the unconventional trumps conventional on Valentine's Day

            ST. BONAVENTURE (Feb. 14) – A former business administration graduate student, whose name Professor Jeffrey Peterson could not recall, and the student’s wife once celebrated Valentine’s Day by visiting a store and strolling through the aisles.  Spotting greeting cards, they parted ways.
            After minutes of rummaging, they reunited and exchanged the selected cards. They silently read them and thanked each other with a hug and kiss.
            The former St. Bonaventure University student and his wife returned the cards to their slots and departed together, not spending a penny, said Peterson, the SBU finance department chairman.
