Doris Day

Ok before you start singing Que Sera, Sera.  That is not the Doris Day I'm talking about.  This Doris Day is the spouse of a WWII vet who is a medal of honor winner and former POW.  She and her husband came to Maxwell AFB to take part in the Warrior Symposium.  This is an event that is held for every Squadron Officers School class.  They invite 2 people who have had an impact or inspire those in the military.  The night before the event, the commanders and spouses are invited to attend dinner with the speakers. Anyway, Doris came along with her husband and while I was not able to go to the dinner, my husband did and said how inspiring it was.  The next day I saw another wife who was there and she sat by Doris and began to talk to her.  She asked her if she had ever written her story down and got a negative response.  Then she said to me that she had her contact info and wouldn't she be a great addition to my thesis project.  Yes - she would.  So after a few e-mails about when and where.  So on Sept. 26 myself and a couple of other spouses are headed to Ft. Walton Beach to meet and interview her.  I'm thinking that my next artist book will be devoted solely to her story.  So very excited about this.
