Asking a girl you’re interested in to get your current girlfriend’s necklace repaired may not be the smoothest way to make a connection, but it worked for Gerold “Gerry” Lamers. Seventy-two years ago he spotted a pretty girl with natural curls at a USO dance in Spokane. Gerry, originally from Wisconsin, was a sailor stationed at Farragut. “I was interested in the Navy because every Saturday the Navy boys from Chicago would come to Milwaukee and get free beer,” he said. “There was a war on, so I signed up and they sent me clear out of this world to Farragut, Idaho!” When he saw Maxine Anderson walk through the door that night, he knew he had to meet her/Cindy Hval, Love Stories.
