The Daily Rave

We were a little more impulsive next door at Elmendorf AFB. We had been dating for most of the year and on Friday, 11/5/76, knowing that my 4 year enlistment would be up in just a few months and wondering what would become of us afterward, I proposed. Surprisingly she agreed and we were married the following Friday, 11/12/76. Our reception involved drinks for 4 at the Holiday Inn at 4th & C Streets in Anchorage and our honeymoon involved a weekend stay in that same hotel. We don't even have wedding pictures, but boy do we have memories.

Our memories of our equally simple wedding are sketchy, not because we were drunk but because it was just not a big deal.

As we were driving through Iowa not too long ago I asked DH hey, where did we get married (to test his memory.) He gave a wrong answer. I asked him who was the best man? He gave a wrong answer.

I think it is funny but I suppose some wives would be insulted.

So far I have made $1,588.00 dismantling my studio and selling my metalsmithing stuff! I am down to the barebones now and have finally posted the remaining items on Facebook Marketplace.

That’s great to hear!

Nice, sounds like you've done a good job finding the right people to appreciate your equipment and its value.

Congrats, SiouzQ. I imagine it must be hard letting go, but great that you are getting some money from it.

Well la dee dah, my blood is doing important work! I just got a notice from the Red Cross that my blood was sent to Johns Hopkins University hospitals. I guess my blood is good enough for the upper echelon of American medicine so yay me!
