WHERE DID THE TIME GO IT WAS 51 YEARS AGO.
SEPT.16,1956 MY DEAR JEANNIES DAD PASSES AWAY AFTER A LONG BATTLE IN KINGSBRIDGE VETERANS HOSPITAL WITH CANCER OF THE THROAT.
HE WAS ONLY 56 YEARS OLD. A REALLY GOOD MAN.
SEPT.18,1956 I GET DISCHARGED FROM THE ARMY AFTER TWO YEARS.
WE LANDED ON SEPT.14,1956 IN BKLYN AND JEANNIE AND MY MOM MET THE SHIP JEANNIE SPOTTED ME INSTANTLY ON THE DECK OF THE SHIP.
WE WERE TRUCKED TO CAMP KILMER N.J.
I WAS COMING HOME EVERY NIGHT GOING AWOL AND ID RETURN IN THE EARLY HOURS, SLEPT ON THE BUS.
AFTER JEANNIES DAD DIED AND WAS LAID OUT, I WAS AT BOTTI'S FUNERAL HOME ON ARTHUR AVE, SO I COULD BE WITH JEANNIE.
IT WAS A TERRIBLE TIME FOR HER, AND AT THE SAME TIME SHE WAS SO HAPPY I WAS FINALLY HOME.
IN FEB,1957 WE WERE MARRIED AT ST JOSEPHS R.C.CHURCH BY FATHER MC NIFF.
BECAUSE OF HER FATHERS DEATH HER FAMILY SAID NO RECEPTION, IM STILL SOMEWHAT PERTURBED ABOUT THAT.
BUT THE MAIN THING IS THANK THE GOOD LORD WE ARE STILL TOGETHER AND STILL DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER.
51 YEARS, BOY I WOULD LOVE TO START OVER FROM THAT DAY I ARRIVED ON THE BOAT.
JIMMY AND JEANNIE
P.S. FATHER MC NIFF LEFT THE PRIESTHOOD AWHILE AFTER AND I TEASE JEANNIE SAYING WE ARE NOT REALLY MARRIED BECAUSE FATHER MC NIFF MARRIED A WOMAN WHO WORKED IN THE RECTORY AND HE IS NO LONGER A PRIEST.
I HOPE HIM AND HIS WIFE ARE STILL TOGETHER AND IN LOVE.
