He has three younger brothers. He met his late wife, Elizabeth 'Liz' Goodman, at an area gas station when they were both high school seniors. After high school, the two maintained a long-distance relationship while she attended Scripps College in California, and he studied Sociology at St. John's University in their native Minnesota. After graduation, their long-distance dating continued as Logelin pursued a Master's degree at Loyola University Chicago. In 2002, rather than continuing on to a PhD in the subject, Logelin opted to move to California to begin life with his high school sweetheart, whom he married on August 13, 2005. Two years later, the Logelins were thrilled to learn they were expecting their first child, but the pregnancy was difficult, and she was admitted to the hospital for bed rest. Following 3 weeks of hospital bedrest, their daughter - Madeline Elizabeth Logelin - was born healthy, though 7 weeks premature, on March 24, 2008 via an emergency caesarean section. The following afternoon, Logelin's wife died suddenly and unexpectedly of a pulmonary embolism. Before his wife's death, Logelin spent many years working as a Project Manager for Yahoo!, often traveling to India as head of their outsourcing program. He quit his job in 2009 to write ''Two Kisses for Maddy'', a memoir about his experience. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Matthew Logelin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
