My Mom

 From my mom's history.

The 2nd World War was going on  and I remember it was all over in the papers and in the newsreels at the movies. It was also on the news on the radio every night. TV had not been invented yet and we listened to the radio each night. The war end in 1945 and it was a happy time. Boys and men who had been away to ward came home. 

BYU, The second quarter, I moved in with eight girls from the Uintah Basin. They were all small town girls like I was and we got along very well. It was through them that I met George Case, my future husband. One evening, Wanda Sadler, one of my roommates and a good friend, went off to her job as an usher at the local theater. As she left, she called back to me, "O, by the way, I've invited a few boys over for supper. Could you fix them something?" I think there were about six of them George was one of them. I checked around to see what we had to cook in the apartment. There was soup meat in the fridge, along with potatoes and carrots so I made vegetable soup. I made graham cracker crumb pie with Jello Pudding. It was surely no feast but they seemed happy with it. 

George went home for Christmas vacation shortly after that. We dated after he returned to school. Our dates were bowling, movie, and attending MIA. Our favorite song was "The Little White Cloud that Cried."  We were married just a year later on December 12, 1952 in the Salt Lake Temple.
