I met my wife while stationed at Mather AFB, CA. It was Feb. 18, 1969, I saw this beautiful girl, standing near the entrance of Fern Becan Junior High School in Sacramento, Ca.

Then It happened, the bell rang, and everyone was going to and fro. A mad house it was, but Out of this ciaos stood a lone girl, near the front entrance of the school, and close to the flag pole. Oh!
