I met you in the rain on the last day of 1972...
I don't even care if this is real or fake. This is beautiful.

If I really wanted to drill down, there are a couple of things that don't quite add up, but it is beautifully written, and I hope it is true.

Guess it was hard back then to ask for a number.

If she was really engaged to someone from a Boston society family, it wouldn't be terribly difficult to track her down, because there just aren't that many of those folks. I'll bet a decent private investigator could do it within a week.
It's funny though, this little event may have had much more significance for him than it did for her. She may not remember it, or him.

I don't believe it either

If someone wanted to get picky - I didn't think it would be possible for someone to go from active in theater pilot flying combat missions to home in Boston discharged one week later. Maybe a military guy can comment on this.

Wow...

I'm not an expert on Vietnam era USAF operations, but 4 B52 sorties in a week's time sounds like a lot. And being sent directly home doesn't ring true. That's what they did with draftees, but a commissioned officer would probably have gone on to his next assignment. Then the lady was wearing a strapless dress, outdoors, on New Year's Eve. In Boston.
But, like I said, I hope it's true, and they find each other again.

Imagine Charlton Heston telling this story.

That actually brought tears to my eyes. I hope it's true. I'm going to believe it's true.

Wow. That's just awesome.

This is what bothers me. I split time between Boston and NYC for the whole year last year and guarantee you that no way someone is not wearing a heavy jacket in January. Hell, no one is not wearing a heavy jacket in November.
