What did you do right after we graduated?

I was married and had my first son after graduation.  After my husband

Lou gratuated from Michigan in 1965 he was commissioned in the Air

Force and we were off to 21 years active duty, he as a fighter pilot, me

as an officers wife.  We lived in TX, England, Panama, ID, OH, and SC

to name a few places.  We had a second son in 1970 while we were

living in the Canal Zone in Panama.
