Marianne loved the challenge of learning to be the best nurse she could be. Many considered her the top student in her class and told me so privately. It was fun listening to the compliments her nurse and doctor friends gave her when I had met them only briefly. She seemed to excel at all assignments given her. She had explained to me that due to the shortage of R.N.s, except for the R.N. supervisors of their departments, the student nurses did all the patient care. This gave them more responsibility and helped them to become the very competent nurses they were, after a relatively short period of time. Also, the nurses were excited they would be given three years of very comprehensive training. Marianne loved it all.
Marianne made preparations to leave by Greyhound Friday evening, after her nursing duties were finished for the day; then Coeur d' Alene (Idaho) "here I come!"
We would get married Saturday, and she would leave Sunday, around five o'clock to get back to Seattle for her duties Monday.
Little did she know what would ensue!
