Perfect Match
Peggy was stationed in the base and went about her business. She soon came across Billie’s father who was working in the propeller section of the facility. Billie was already there before she knew it and sparks were in the air right from the beginning. Peggy defied the gender conventions at the time, because she wanted to do more than marry a rich man and live off his money. She worked every day to overcome the significant technical hurdles that stood in her way of fulfilling her dream to be a part of the defense and protection for her country.
The Right Way to Courtship
Peggy and Billie did not meet at a social event or party; they were pen pals. This was a romantic way to meet. It was an important way to communicate in those days. Also, it was a popular and widespread way for men to flirt and court women in their unique style. It’s important to remember that social media was not available during this period. There were no direct messages on Facebook and no skyping. The mail was the most reliable and efficient way to communicate due to the distance involved.
