My husband I knew your parents Wendell & Nita when all were stationed at Perrin AFB TX - visited all of you in Ft. Worth w/ our 5 children. Don't know why I decided to check internet for your folks today after all these yrs. & thought of your folks often wondered were/ how they were, knew Dad was from Jefferson City, MO. He had quite a past, Nita was my best friend, missed them both over the years. So sorry that I missed him by just a few days, would have loved to talked to him. Wish him a fond Aloha as he is now w/ Nita & sure they both are missed dearly. Fond Aloha to all. Please write me in my email! Nancy
