The rest of THAT story ...

So there we were ... newlyweds ... I was a USMC 2ndLt starting flight school in Milton Florida, Peggy and I had just moved into our first home together -- a two-bedroom duplex onbase at NAS Whiting Field in Milton, FL (had a carport). And I decided we (note the use of the pronoun "we" ...) needed to rebuild the carburetor on my 1970 Chevelle convertible. It was a Holley 650 double pumper. Having no workbench, we used the next best thing -- the kitchen table!

You can fill in the details for yourself. You've all probably been there and done that. It was the first of many tests of our marriage.

36 years later, we're still married!
