In '73 I was a 16 year old teenager working at a military Post Exchange store (PX), on Ft Monroe Va. I doubt that is even allowed today.
I got to be friends with one of the other guys there,(older, about 18) and eventually met his beautiful younger sister, who was 15 at the time. It was love at first sight, but sadly she didn't share the same sight.
As the summer wore on, I would stop by the house to see "her brother David" often. Sometimes I would show up too early and end up sitting with his mother and sister while waiting on David. Still getting no where.
December 1973, and David brings his sister by our work place. Parked in back is my recently acquired 1967 GTO. Gold with a black top and interior, with red lines and a 4 speed. FINALLY, her vision improved.
Next June 26th, we will be married for 40 years.
I will add that it still took 3 months for her to come around. Our first date was a trip to Suffolk Dragstrip. She sat on the console of a '69 Z-28 that I was driving, probably 6" taller than me sitting there.
