Show OPH rememb r and h had th top down and th h t a rue th lll beautiful guy right next to me with blonde hair (laughs . I r ally lt r a i ut I h hm was in heaven. I really felt that way (laughs). So that s kind of the way we got to th r. BEC: Yeah. SOP: And we've been together for fifty years so there must be something here (laughs). BEC: That's wonderful. SOP: He's a real good-well, you talked to him, you know what kind of guy he is. He's a good guy. He's been kind of forgetful-we all do (laughs). BEC: That's interesting. JEA: The only thing I can remember, too, is the parachutes, making dresses out of parachutes. h! I SOP: Oh, yes, during the war. Yes, we did that. And then we needed yam. We took a blanket, regular blanket-of course there was no yam or anything-so we took a blanket and we just unwrapped (unraveled) the blanket. BEC: Oh, really? SOP: Yeah, and then we knitted something with it. JEA: Where did you get the parachutes? How did you get the parachutes and who did that? SOP: The parachutes, I had a dress from a parachute and I think, yeah, now you're asking me a question and where did I get it? JEA: Did you guys share it? I mean, not one person got a whole parachute, is that right? SOP: No. How did I get that? I probably got it from the Germans. We had to dye it. I dyed it green. BEC: Where did you get the dye from? Did you make dye out of something? 41 |
