Remember walking out of Grand Canyon with a couple in 1990's, she was in Berlin on night it came down and her father had emigrated to the US to Michigan after the war and married a Michigan girl.........she just said he was in uniform during it.
No reason to ask what he did because was one of those things that was of no relevance, her Indian hubby said he used to tease her a bit as she made plain on 1st date, you smoke and you don't ever kiss me.
Remember just looked at her (she was gorgeous) and then him and said "yup, some decisions are just so easy to make" and then asking did she have a sister
.
She remembered on the phone to her dad on the night and he blubbered quite a lot and saying over and over that "I don't believe it".
