Throwback Thursday: Damn Yankee Marries Southern Gal

Bette, chalk up another victory for the North over the South!  Southerners just can't resist Northern charm!

Bette loved this post. On a side note I was living in Connecticut and then I was stationed in Columbus GA and I was often called a "Damn Yankee":)))Endre

Funny story and great that you have pics of your parents from that long ago.

Bette, a lovely old photo and an even better story, thanks for sharing this gem!

Bette how funny I spend a long time there, Infantry Officer's Basic Course(IOBC), prior to that Airborne School and then after IOBC Ranger School:)))<Endre

Good morning Bette. I really enjoyed thisstory and the pictures. My parents were much older, met by mail when my Dad was overseas serving in WWII and married secretly.

Bette, that is such a sweet story!  In 1948, there was a lot of that eloping stuff going on!

Bette, I love the title of this post!  And, what a wonderful story.  Thanks for sharing!

Love prevailed again. I am enjoying these TBT remembrances.

Nice story, Bette. Also enjoyed the throwback photos. So pleasant to look back into life and memories.

Hi Bette, It's precious information like that we remember. Many of those treasured stories are not handed down and lost over the years.  I'm glad that one lives on.
