re: How did your parents meet?

Skating rink. Barter Roller Rink.1953.

Dad was stationed at Barksdale AFB in Bossier. He and Mom met each other at a dance.

quote:

---

They met in high school and neither of them ever dated anybody else. My dad always remembered what my mother was wearing the first time he saw her.

same for my parents Mom passed then Dad. Found a box of love letters my Dad had mailed her when going thru their things. Talk about bring a tear to you eye.

My father was a First Lieutenant B26B flight instructor in WWII and my mother was a Second Lieutenant Army nurse. They met in her hospital. Their wedding picture was in uniform.

Both were working for IBM pre world war II,

My dad worked with her brother in law at an auto repair shop. Mom was still in high school, dad was 5 years older, had done two years in the Army at Uncle Sam's insistence (drafted during Korea and sent to Germany).

My grandmother wouldn't let them go out on dates at first so dad would come out, mom's sister and brother in law would come over and the four of them would play Monopoly.

Mom graduated in the spring, Dad proposed on her 18th birthday that August and they were married in March. I came along 19 years and 10 months later.
