On the base after we tore into the birds and removed all the innards from each and every cavity they possessed. It was a total modification and maintenance procedure and as evening came and a ten to twelve hour day was complete,

we all were tired and wanted to relax. Along with a couple of other Tinker employees, I had rented a house in Duluth on the shore of Lake Superior. The lake was frozen and there were ice piles stacked high on the beaches and banks. It was cold and the wind seemed to cut into everything that was put on, in an attempt to keep warm. Several of us went downtown to have a few drinks and to dance a little at this place that had a band led by a young man by the name of Victor Martinson. A very fine looking, well groomed person that was as likable as anyone you would ever hope to meet. He was to be a part namesake to my son, Victor Martin as well as his mothers dad, Martin Nivala. Also at this little place was Jerry, the airman from the base along with two very attractive ladies. Now the exact happenings of the evening and subsequent days are not quite clear in my mind but I do know that I met and liked a certain Elaine that was introduced to me. We went together to all different places, we ate together, bowled, went for drives locally and even to Bovey where she was from and where her parents still lived. We went to International Falls and crossed over into Canada and all in all every minute spent together was absolutely wonderful. I was fast falling very deeply in love with this beautiful woman. She had been married and had four children who lived with her there in Duluth. I spent a lot of time at the house with Elaine and her children, getting to know her and loving her more every day. As mentioned before we danced to the music of Victor Martinson who played special music for us as we held each other in a loving embrace. I went back to Oklahoma City and proceeded to trade for a brand new house of three bedrooms to accommodate the six of us. Elaine and the kids came down with me in December 1961 after I went up and got them. We all moved into our new home that I had bought just prior to going up after Elaine and the children that night, the next night my bride to be and I went to El Reno, Oklahoma and got married. Sometime within the next few weeks, through the magic of love a child was conceived in the womb of my lovely wife. A child of love, want and feelings of mind, heart and of the spirit. This happiness was to last only a few short months and was soon replaced by the separation and later divorce of Vic's father and mother to be. This was the beginning of a twenty three year wait for the birth of my child, him being kept from the pleasure of my sight and loving arms, of him being deprived of knowing his father and having a dad and the hurt that only a child can conceive, of not knowing if his father even cares let alone loves him. This wait was ended when God saw fit to allow the wonderful union of father and son and brother, twenty two years, nine months and eleven days after the birth of my son, you Vic. There is no need to go into anymore specific details about anything transpiring between the separation, birth and the final union of father and son because of conflicting memories, feelings and fears that I'm sure would only cloud the issue and cause further confusion, serve no purpose and is at this time totally unnecessary. The main thing to know now Victor is that both your father and mother do now and have always loved you very much.
