Near always means NOT BEFORE, more often means will be after. My own update, when obviously was not by end of 1st week in May as per April 30 chat, from 4 days ago last spoke. We’ll be in Reno 6 PM tomorrow on way to Tahoe 44th anniversary and her 76th but I’ve NO IDEA at all who he met with last Monday still. Whatever, I make no decisions whatsoever except to attempt to use my brain so often lacking in constant bitchers with absolutely nothing ever to add. 8
Spoke shortly last night, Monday. He’s just back from a trip and would not say to where or what about. I told him he sounded really chipper and he said “Top of the world!”. So I said I’d just relay that with no conjecture.
Met her Tue May 13 ’69 at Spangdahlem O Club, 3rd lady I’d even spoken to in Germany. I said, “Are all you women here as beautiful?” Was my “Top Gun” short but cute hero days. Those 2 said “Wait till you see the next one!” Dorly walked thru the door. “DAH!!!” Soon even dumbo me actually realized, but not at the time, when finally May ’70 she was the most beautiful lady ever even bothered to talk to me let alone accept a dinner date. But was in a bad marriage some good friends helped us get her out and off to Carson City May 25 ’71 and married. Next day went down to Mather AFB and a DOD card to take her home. I tell all yes is 44 years of wonderful days but nights can be pure hell just proves real love gets us through to another day and year of life together. Good things don’t end long as you work at it as one 8
