ongoing saga

Thought I would continue the saga of Bill & Joy. We continued our courtship on a long distance basis, Bill was stationed At Beaufort S.C. and I was in Nurse's training in D.C. Whenever he could get liberty and I was off, he would either drive up to D.C. or fly into Andrews Air Force base on a military flight and Dad and I would pick him up.. Mom and Dad were now living in Springfield, Va., as, Dad was stationed at the Pentagon, so he had a place to stay. We had a lot of fun, seeing all there was to see in D.C., Maryland and Virginia. Sibley had regular dances and sometimes Bill would be able to make those. Yes, children, your Dad actually danced back in those days. On one of our sightseeing trips in D.C., we actually walked up to the top of the Washington Monument and down again. I don't believe they let you do that anymore. Maybe, that is why I have such bum knees now.!! Oh. well it was worth it. In all , we, probably ,were only together, at the most, 6 months out of the 2 years until we got married. I'll write about that later.
