Unusual Meeting Method
Let’s go back to the beginning and see how these two lovers met. Peggy began her career as an electrical instrument technician at Altus Oklahoma Air Force Base in Oklahoma when she was 18 years old. Peggy did not know she was going to meet the father who would become her future lover. She had also made no preparations. Billie’s dad worked at the base in addition to being a worker. Billie’s father was able to tell Peggy’s father that he was interested in her when they crossed paths. Peggy was different from the other girls, because despite being smart and beautiful, she had a peculiar characteristic that set her apart.
Not Your Ordinary Woman
Peggy was the sole female mechanic at Altus Oklahoma Air Force Base. But that’s not what made her stand out from the other crew members. Peggy was a standout because she trusted in her instincts and listened to her emotions. Women weren’t hired to do this job, especially during the 1900s when they were expected stay home. Peggy was determined to follow her instincts and not do what she thought was best.
