The Love Story of Bob & Ann Owens - by Bob Owens (printed by permission)

In 1959, I was 19 and stationed at the USAF base in Châteauroux, France. Ann was 17; a military dependent going to high school at the American high school on the base.

One day in the fall, I was sitting with friends in the base snack bar when Ann walked by with her mother and sister. I asked my friend, who was dating one of Ann's schoolmates and friends; who was she? Her friend (Pam Brown) said, "That's Ann Sandra" and from that moment I was hooked. We started dating and were very close.

 In 1960, after Ann's graduation, we were engaged and planned to marry before I left the service in March of 1961. My family approved and Ann's uncle offered me a job in his auto parts business and an apartment in the Twin Falls, Idaho area to help us get started on the right foot.

We were very happy and things seemed fine, but for some reason unknown to me at the time, we broke up. You must understand that there were no telephones in the barracks and the housing area was miles from the base so contact had to be prearranged and sometimes difficult. Also, things were very different back then; kids generally did what their parents told them to do and Ann as a military dependent, overseas, was under complete control of her parents, regardless of her age.

Anyway, we broke up for reasons that I never knew. Before I left France and the Air Force, I learned that Ann was dating someone else and was planning to be married. I didn't understand what was going on and saw Ann on only two occasions; once at the base movie theatre and on March 4, 1961, my 21st birthday, as Ann was leaving the base chapel after just getting married.

We never stopped looking for each other. Me, because I wanted to find out what had happened and because I never stopped loving her. Ann, because she wanted to tell me what had happened and she too still loved me.
