A 65-Year Memory: Echos of Wedding Bells
No, I don't remember. I wasn't even a gleam in anyone's eye or a dream in a mind. On this date in 1944 Harold and Dora founded the Lehman Family. It was a war marriage. He was a soldier at Camp Gordon Georgia. She was a young woman looking to find the world away from her family back in New York. They met and were married. He went off to war in Europe, returning over a year later when the war ended.
The marriage lasted a little less than 18 years until Dora died at the young age of 48 from cancer. They had two sons.
At least for today, the memory lives on.

I was stationed for 1 year at Fort Gordon, and my Dad passed away at 50. Are you a brother? DC
