1164. Army memories, and Wayne singing "You're A Grand Old Flag"!

My dear husband Wayne --Sept. 18th, 1930 to Feb. 21st, 2016 -- singing !  This was taken in our living room during a family celebration for our 60th wedding anniversary, in September, 2015. 

Also some pictures of him in the army in the 1950's


Wayne always got along so well with kids!  This was taken in Austria.


  
This was taken when they went to an army retreat, and got to wear civilian clothes.


An example of times when they were out on manuvers.


I've always loved these pictures, most of which he sent me when we were writing letters at that time.

As we were growing up we sang trios in many places!   A couple of nights ago I had a call from a lady I ha...
