I am saddened to learn of “Ginny” passing away. We dated steadily most of the summer of 1945, while I was in the Navy near Memphis. The last time I saw her was 1946, after my discharge from the US Navy. I may have known her husband at Graceland College in 1947. We called him “Wheaties”. I still have some pictures of her, and of us together.
