She was an 18 yr old visiting family in Ca. I saw her in the Mainside NCO club, Camp Pendleton. We married 5 weeks later. Almost 35 years ago.

Chesty, I've read you on the Texas Board for years and other than you being a Marine, I rather like you! ;-) I met mine when she was 18, on a blind date when I was home on leave from Ft Sill. We married 9 weeks later, just after her 19th birthday and spent our first two years in Germany. Next month will be 35 years for us also.

My pop was a D.I. at Camp Pendleton....in the early 50's.

I bet he did some "time" at that club.

My mother and he lived on the cliffs in Laguna Beach.......He used to say he caught lobster and calico bass right off the beach then.....

Nice story Chesty..!!
