My sister worked at Brewer’s Drug Store. The store had a small grill that
served hamburgers, hot dogs and ice cream and sodas. In fact, it was called a
soda fountain. I do miss the soda fountain.

One day when my sister was barely sixteen, a group of soldiers came through
Charleston on their way home to Iowa.
The soldiers came into the soda fountain, ate and had a good time. There was
one soldier my sister took a liking to; he was handsome, full of life and had
an eye for my sis.
It was only a matter of days before he returned to pick her up and away they
went.
