Well, I was stationed in Va.Beach and had just moved into a place off base and would sit out on the steps and drink a beer after work and just be mellow 8). I used to see her walk her little poodle every evening and she would always glare at me if I looked at her. Finally i met her younger brother and he invited me to go see a high school football game with a group of them and guess who was there? Yep the future Mrs HankD. That was in October and she was 19 and I was 21, and in December on New Years Eve we skipped across the state line into Elizabeth City, North Carolina and eloped. They said it wouldn't last but I guess maybe "they" miscalculated cause it will be 39 years this New Years Eve and :hot:

I just hope that the staute of limitations on the Mann Act is long past 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl
