South Central Kansas | Great story with a good ending! Thanks for sharing. I hope you have many more years together.
My dad's next youngest brother came back from WW 2 and was working for the Santa Fe railroad on a passenger train. He walked past a young gal on the train who was traveling with her sorority mates to California for a convention. He stopped on the way by in the aisle and said something like " Hey girl, how you doing?" She replied "I'm doing just fine, how about you?" Like you said, the rest is history. Uncle Walter grew up on the farm here in Kansas and Aunt Phyllis' parents owned farm ground north of Monroe Iowa. Not too far up the road from your area.
They married in 1946 and Uncle Walter died in 1971, Aunt Phyllis never re-married and died in 2015, she was a widow for 44 years. Cardiac medicine today would have saved him for a few more years I think. By-pass surgeries started being done later in the 70s.
