Vickie Maris, you have done a fabulous job of bringing this time period to life. I hope this inspires others to do the same. I fear we are losing previous generations’ legacies as our elders pass on and take all the story telling with them. As I listened to your mother’s stories, I kept thinking. your dad sounded like a great husband and a great dad.” L. IsenstadtThis journey spans from Lucille’s early life on an Illinois farm to the time in the late 1930s when she was dating Jim and taking her first flight in a plane with him. Next is the decision to enlist in the US Army Air Corps, and the young couple’s decision to marry.
