How about your folks.....


Mom and Dad met at the Torpedo Station, Newport, RI.
Dad could not enlist because of bad eyes. So he made torpedoes
like his brother (WWI) and father. Mom quit the sewing mills and
joined the war effort running a milling machine. They were married
in 1949 and celebrated their 50th 9 months before Dad passed on.
Mom is 84 (ssh don't tell her I said so) and is still a sparkplug.
