Alva's (Oklahoma) 1940s Cadets...

"My husband, Bill Guntrum, was stationed at NWSTC as a cadet. That is where we met in June 1944. His group was shipped out a few months later and we are sure that was the last group to be stationed there. His flight instructor was Jack Hamel who was married to Ludella Kamas of Freedom. She and I drove to San Antonio in December l944 as they were both stationed at SAAC Air Corps Base. Bill and I were married there and Jack 'gave me away'. Bill and I celebrated our 61st anniversary in December 2005. My first job was at Southwestern Bell in Alva and it is true that Shirley Temple's boyfriend at the time was stationed there." -- Doris Whittet Guntrum   |  View or Add Comments (1 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
