A mere month into his relationship with Betsy Morgan, Chad Gifford found himself sitting nervously in her parents' dining room in Suffield, Conn., where the clan had gathered for Easter lunch. "So tell me, Chad," Betsy's banker father began, lowering the boom before the roast was served. "How much does an archaeologist earn?"
