Russ and I both had a temporary duty assignment the same week, except his TDY was to Maxwell AFB and mine was to Gulfport MS. My best friend, Diana Bishop, was also TDY at Maxwell at the same time. So as Maxwell was just a 4 hour drive from Gulfport, I made the relatively short drive to see both Diana and Russ after my training was over and stayed for a day and a half.
Diana's classmates were having an end of class party and invited us along. Russ did more than his share of helping her classmates "finish off" their liquor supply. (Note, this photo was taken "pre-helping.")
Russ had been upgraded to a convertible PT Cruiser, which we all enjoyed cruising around in. (It was so hot that we ended up putting the top up and air on.)
The most significant thing about this trip was that on the day I left, 25 July, Russ told me he loved me for the first time. (I'd already figured out that I loved him on 18 June, but "patiently" waited for him to figure things out for himself before I said anything.)
I was so glad I went to Maxwell AFB!
