Love is in the air


This post is dedicated to my parents: Allen Robert Nichols and Mary Ellen Lawwill who were once young and very much in love.

written, typed actually, by my dad, who was on night duty at:
Operations Line Crew
Naval Air Station
Glenview, Illinois
1946


These are various pictures I have of my parents in the early days of their marriage.

My Dad was in the Navy & my Mother was in the Waves.

They were so cute!! I love to bring up the pictures big on my computer and save them so I can have copies too!
I looked up where they were married. It should say "Naval Air Station" - apparently thousands of pilots were trained there. It was shut down in 1946 and is now farmland. Cool, eh!?

p.p.s. - Why, oh why, did I not inherit Grandma's legs???
