WAITING FOR WHS TO TIE UP IN CHARLESTON, SC
The Standley is returning home from a Med Cruise in Dec.1972. Kathy and I
have only been married one year and we are expecting our first baby at the end of
Dec. (Kathy is the one in the white coat that won't cover her belly) . The
temp was 24 degrees when we pulled in; really cold for someone from deep
south Texas!
NOW
N.A.S. Meridian, Miss.
