the wedding date was kind of interesting because i was a member of the national guard
ah there in nebraska and on april nineteenth
nineteen fifty two the
missouri river was coming up over it's banks and
i was getting married at three in the afternoon and at noon
i got a call on the guy i
answered the phone and
fellow said corporal buffet and i said yes sir he said this is captain murphy and
he said what time you getting married and i said three o'clock he said well
we've been activated so be at the armory at five so that was
that was not an auspicious start for the
wedding day
and then a little while later i got a call from
the commanding general of the thirty fourth division and he said i'm countermanding captain murphy's order so
go and have a great time on the honeymoon
fortunately my original call from captain murphy captain murphy stuttered somewhat and otherwise i would have thought it was one of the
the ushers in the wedding or something
playing a game on me i might have i might have made some comments
