Hi Manikin I was home on leave in 1959 too. Got married to my hi-school sweetheart while on leave
Wow that is great pickingupbones ! I hope your still very happy . Were you in Marines also ?
Im wondering if he knew Thomas presley Long
I will ask him he is not home at moment but he better get back before storms start today . He is the usher at church so never know when he will be back. I am going to guess he didn't since the man you mention has middle name Presley I think he would have remembered that and talked about it :-)
Great Photo!!!!
