Michelle: Tell Pete about the mishap during your wedding
getaway leaving the reception!
Colonel: It was wartime. Everyone was practically in a small
Methodist Church. It came a time when we wanted to leave. So I head out to the
car and got my car, started it up. I didn’t have my hat! My military hat! In
which, was our marriage license. It was buried inside the hat. In that day,
when you registered at a hotel, you had to show your marriage license. Yeah! So
I had it with me tucked around this military side and the marriage license was
out in the house. So I had to go back and get it. If I had driven off I would
have had been in a bad way. At that time, you HAD to be in military uniform. I
had no civilian clothes.
Michelle: None?!
Colonel: NONE. I gave away every item of civilian clothes I
had before I went into the service. Because I knew you were in military uniform
24 hours a day. You could not be otherwise. And I didn’t have my hat, I’m in
trouble! I kept one suit in my mother and fathers closet. Of course it didn’t
fit five years later when I came back. I don’t know what I did with it.
