South Pacific Gift WWII to Rosie Riveting Mom from Marine Sgt Dad




  • Met on a blind date.
  • 4 years apart due to WWII
  • 2 years of business college and a Rosie Riveting job for her.
  • Ration era.  Turning jewelry into bullets.
  • Love Letters back and forth.
  • 1945 wedding; off for a short 2 weeks and back to the Solomon Islands for dad.
