You folks all had a different coming of age than I...No proms and dating in my teen age years...My folks were to busy trying to keep food on the table and a roof over our heads along with getting me through high school...Which they never had the chance to attend...As soon as I turned 18 I went to Seattle and went to work for Boeing...The war came along and I ended up in the Army...Then came the Cold War and Korea...I was almost 26 when I got married...No time to learn all the social graces....I don't think I ever had what you folks call a date in my life....My getting married is a whole other story, but not for public consumption here on this thread....Whatever....It lasted 38 years till she died....That's a lot longer than a lot of others....

......Westy......

Westy, I remember your telling the story of how you met your wife and looked her up after the war. And it was so romantic. You must have had some social graces...back then. LOL
