Every gal has to have her first two piece, even if it's in the middle of Illinois, nowhere near water, and too busy with grad school to go swimming anyway..oh well. 



Two years later, she's in Hawaii, aged 26, working and set to marry her first husband in a month, now returned from his first duty in Vietnam as a four year Navy Officer..

Hawaii, the most beautiful place.....the scent of flowers fills the air and gods still dwell in the mountains, the sea...

After Hawaii, Rhode Island, then Boston...time slides past. She works at the VA, puts hubby through law school, but it doesn't work. She finally packs her bags and leaves at the end of his last year. Where did the love go? Who can answer the unanswerable? It's easy to see the love in the shot taken in New York, visiting old navy buddies, their best man and matron of honor, divorced ,themselves, a few years later. Maybe love doesn't disappear. Maybe it just fades, like denims in sunlight, until you forget the original color or that the jeans used to fit.
