On September 6, 1949, the author was a bride and clueless as to the
twists and turns her life would take as the wife of a US Army
officer. Her husband served sixteen months at the end of WWII and
completed his three-year obligation in the reserve forces.
Meantime, he tried to complete college and enlisted in the Oklahoma
National Guard while at the University of Oklahoma. The Guard unit
was recalled to service with the 45th Division at the outbreak of
the Korean War.
Elizabeth was ill-prepared for the kind of life she would
experience as a military wife, the frequent moves from pillar to
post while rearing four children, the separations from her husband,
and parting from her friends and making new ones. Without a support
system, she learned that military wives depended on each other.
It wasn't an easy life, but it offered many exciting adventures
and presented friendships in many places. Her children adapted well
to the nomadic lifestyle, despite transferring from school to
school in midterm. Would she have made the commitment had she known
what it entailed? She would have because it was a life of wonderful
adventures shared with her husband, her children, their dog, and
many, many friends.
