A
soldier on his R & R will usually find a USO club to met local girls and have a good time. Such is the story of my brother,
Raymond. In 1970 while on his "Week in Heaven", he met his future bride to be, though neither knew it then. When he returned
to the states, he was stationed in Fort Lee, Virginia just outside Washington DC and he got a letter from one of the two sisters
he had met in Sydney telling him that her sister would be working for the Australian Consulate in DC. He re-acquainted himself
with her and the other arrived a few months later to visit her sister. She left when her 6 mo visa was up and returned home
to Sydney. They both knew they had fallen in love and that no matter of distance would keep them apart. They were married
a year later, lived here for 10 yrs, and have been in Australia ever since.
Though
he has never lived in Pennsylvania, he is welcomed to make his home here
upon his return,
whenever that
may be.
Although
he may want to return to the states some day, this may be the precious reason he may not.
His first granddaughter.
