Sir: One of the first books I read after arriving in SE Asia for my duty in Korat, Thailand was Mr. Fall's "Hell in a Very Small Place" about the French defeat at Dein Bein Phu. I have read it several times since. Your estimation of the individual is spot on.
This was taken at their house.
I'll tell you in the next chapter. If she says that is the way I popped the question, it might be true. I barely remember. Women tend to remember details like that in ways men don't.
Now, even if I say so myself (since I took all of them or arranged their taking) these are a terrific set of pictures of our Married Life 11 months after we were married in 1953.
How did you pop the question? Mom said something about being outside of a club in the evening where there were big logs that separated the parking lot from the sidewalk, and you put one of your legs up on the log trying to act casual and said: "So what do you think about getting married?" True or ?? What is your recollection?
