Rick’s maternal grandparents
Grandma and Grandpa Pratt
We met at his cousins, his neighbor, and my friends. It was 1942. I was 13 years old. He joined the army and returned in 1947 from Germany after the war.
We all hung out at their house, played cards, talked a lot and danced to all the good bands on records. He was a great dancer.
He became interested and asked me to dinner! We went to the movies and dances. While dancing one night he asked me if he could buy me a ring, “surprise”! I said okay, the next day I asked him what that meant, he replied that “we were engaged”. 6 months later we were married in a double wedding ceremony with his brother and have been in love for 68 years.
