    • The story of Robert H and Helen
      Robert met Helen through mutual friends and they dated some. She was a practicing nurse at the time and was enticed by friends to go and nurse in West Palm Beach, Florida at Good Samaritan Hospital. My parents had no understanding at the time so mum was free to go. She went to live with her friends in W Palm. She was 24 years old. She loved the sun, the beach, the work and was having fun with her friends. She was dating other men. She and her girlfriends went on a trip to pre-Castro Cuba for a weekend. Dad go nervous. He knew if he did not act he was going to miss an opportunity so bought a ring, drove down to Florida and proposed to my mother. Mum says she was having such a good time that if she had not met my dad before she went she would have happily stayed there the rest of her life.
