Signal Ready

When I was stationed in Germany, I had a friend. Her name was Margaret. It was funny how we met. I have to share this story. When you are in the military you have your last name on your uniform and every one calls you by your rank and last name, for example I was known as “Specialist Love” not Lonnie. So when my friend Margaret (AKA- Specialist Andrews) showed up at the base for the first time. I thought I would be a “cool-player” and introduce my self and ask for her name. When I ever so cool walked up and said I was “Lonnie Love” I asked her for her name. She pointed to her uniform shirt and said. “Da – It is right there.”
After that we became the best of friends. I left Germany in April of 91; I didn’t think I would ever hear from her again. And 12 years later she called me up out of the blue. And we continue to email to this day. So, to my good buddy Margaret. “Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars!” Oh, and thanks for reading my blogs and making them your “favorites”, who knows, maybe one day I will turn all this into a book called…”Love – Letters”
