PART TWO

Well, when her Mother found out she was going to get married she 
and one of her Aunts’ came down from New England on a bus to 
New York, to talk her out of it. Of course I hadn’t met any 
of Jeri’s relatives before now and didn’t know exactly what 
to expect either. Her Mother was very nice and her Aunt too. 

Originally I didn’t know they came down primarily to talk her 
out of getting married, until later after they left she told me, 
but said she was still going to marry me. That sure made me 
happy to hear that from her. 

Jeri had to resign from Eastern before she could get married, 
as that was the EAL regulations at the time, but I would of 
made her quit anyway. My feelings on that are, I don’t think 
a wife should have to work outside the home unless financial 
help is needed to make ends meet (pay the bills). 

Jeri has always been the first one to say she will get a job 
to help out, whenever I was out of work or when I was on strike 
with EAL and she always did get a temporary job till we got back 
on our feet. 

When I had time off, I wanted her there so we could do things 
together and later on of course to do things with her and the 
kids. And Jeri says, “Wasn’t he bossy and still is”. 

Yes we got married on May 29, 1959 in a small Church on Long 
Island, NY, with an EAL Stewardess and Pilot as our Best Man 
and Maid of Honor and the rest is history. I met her Father 
and the rest of her family on our Honeymoon and the first 
thing he said after we shook hands was; “Normally we would 
already have had two or three arguments” and we both laughed.

[This day and age we're living in 
Gives cause for apprehension 
With speed and new invention 
And things like fourth 
 dimension. 
Yet we get a trifle weary 
With Mr. Einstein's theory. 
So we must get down to earth 
 at times 
Relax relieve the tension

And no matter what the progress 
Or what may yet be proved 
The simple facts of life are such 
They cannot be removed.]

You must remember this 
A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh
 is just a sigh. 
The fundamental things apply 
As time goes by.

And when two lovers woo 
They still say, "I love you." 
On that you can rely 
No matter what the future brings 
As time goes by.

Moonlight and love songs 
Never out of date. 
Hearts full of passion 
Jealousy and hate. 
Woman needs man 
And man must have his mate 
That no one can deny.

It's still the same old story 
A fight for love and glory 
A case of do or die. 
The world will always 
 welcome lovers 
As time goes by.

Oh yes, the world will always
 welcome lovers 
As time goes by.
