Tennis: A Chance Encounter With My Future Wife

I finally settled into a routine that made time go by: I didn't study like I should have, but I found myself playing more and more tennis and it turned out this really is a game of love; in playing another team I was suddenly looking right into the beautiful blue eyes of my future wife! She was playing doubles; made a great play, glanced my way and I smiled; her smile back was gorgeous. Very interested I waited so I could talk to her and she ended up accepting my invitation to a date to go to Eliches or Lakeside in Denver! We found we were very compatible and other dates ensued. We went out on a double date with my friend dating her good friend. Where to go? Why, why not go out and watch the tracer bullets arching through the sky at the Denver Arsenal Ammunition Range? The spot testing was to ensure that ammunition sent to our armed services would actually fire and work as advertised. In all truth, after watching the tracers speeding through the sky we started becoming more interested in watching the tracers in each other's eyes! Also, we let the time slip away and then we suddenly realized it was almost 5:00am! My wife's parents were very worried and very relieved when we drove up. My Dad was glad to get the car back! At a later date with just the two of us I asked her to be my wife; she accepted and made both of us very happy. Meanwhile, WWII was going full bore.
