Chapter Four
Justin sat in his quarters stunned. They said 'Hammer' was the best, but they never expected this.
Word had gotten out that 'Hammer' had ejected over Hanoi, and that he would probably be captured for him being a pilot. He never knew the Lt.'s real name until they called out all the ones that were missing. His name was Lt. Harmon Rabb. Justin knew that he had a wife and a young son at home waiting for him. He promised himself that he would finish out the tour and meet his family.
As Justin sat in his quarters he decided to send a letter to his brother Thomas.
Dear Thomas,
We had a lot of men today on the ground and in the air. I finally found out who the Lt. Was who kept helping me and encouraging me as I made the planes were in working order. We lost him today. His name was Lt. Harmon Rabb. Everybody says our Christmas' well never be the same without him aboard. His wingman Thomas Boone 'Tong' as people around her call him. He told me that he would make sure that he would keep the 'brothers' club going.
Sorry for my bad news. How was your date with your with your girl? The last time you wrote that you and her were going out on a date.
I hope you; Frank and Mom have a blessed Christmas!
Your brother,
Justin
He just hoped that the rest of his shipmates had a nice Christmas, because he going to because he was going to do it in honor of Lt. Harmon Rabb-USN
Chapter Five
The rest of Adelle and Thomas' courtship was as exciting as the first moment on the beach. True to his word Thomas was the perfect gentleman around Adelle. Their first date consisting of them going to a Coco's in downtown San Diego and then seeing a movie. On their second date Thomas and Adelle enjoyed a picnic lunch out on the beach. By their third date they were beginning to get to know one another. And as the months progressed, they were able to spend time together as time would allow. Then one evening Adelle had dropped a bombshell according Thomas.
They were sitting around the fireplace at his house that he had inherited from his father. The house sat a little ways from the ocean, and you could practically touch the sea gulls that landed near by.
“Thomas my mother called today, she wants to meet you and my brother AJ is home from Vietnam and would like to meet you as well.”
Stunned Thomas looked at her like a deer got in the headlights. He did not know what to say. She had always said that her brother was a person to be reckoned with whether he was angry or being overprotective. Thomas knew that if he went to Texas to visit the family that he would undoubtedly meet her brother. He knew he had to put all his doubts aside and go meet the family.
“Yes I'll go with you.”
The next day Thomas and Adelle set off toward Lubbock, Texas to the ranch the family had on the outskirts. It was an interesting trip for the both of them. Thomas thinking 'was he going to meet with the families approval' and Adelle was thinking it was going to be nice to see her brother again.
They rented a car and went to directly to the ranch. When they arrived at the ranch Adelle spotted her mother out on the front porch as well as her father. AJ was always the spitting' image of their father nobody knew them apart unless it was her mother or Adelle herself. Thomas and Adelle got out of the car, and went directly to Adelle's father, Lane Jethro Chedwiggen.
Giving her father a hug, Adelle said “Hey daddy! Where is AJ?”
“He will be here soon.” Then about that time they heard a car pull up to the house. From where the family was standing they could see that AJ brought someone with him. One look at her father and Adelle knew that sparks were going to fly. AJ had brought home someone of a different color.
Then she turned to her mother and saw the love and affection that she always gave out to individuals that she did not know. Adelle's mother Jo waited until AJ and his girl were on the porch before she gave them both a hug.
Adelle watched as her fiancé and her father got along great, but noticed that there was going to be strain between her father and AJ. So she decided to take her mother's own advice and welcome the new addition to the family.
AJ turned to Adelle and as well his mother and introduced his fiancé, “Mother, Adelle I would like you to meet my fiancé Marcella.”
“Where did you two meet?” asked Jo. She was happy for her son but also sad that her husband was not going to accept someone from a different race into the family.
“Of all things we met in a bar” Marcella answered for AJ. Who was nervous in meeting the future in-laws but also realizing that she would never be accepted from her future father-in-law because of her race. Even though she was Italian she had slightly darker skin than most she was still considered a beauty in her own right and that AJ loved her.
“I am glad that you have come to meet the family even if our father and my fiancé are being pig headed,” said Adelle.
“Won't you all come inside and out of this heat” said Jo. So everyone went inside.
Adelle knew that in the next few months that things were going to be strained between the families because she was going to be caught in the middle.
