FUN! FUN! FUN! WITH VERHOVAY IN NEW YORK ■ PAGE 10 Verhovay Journal May 19, 1954. Nurses’ Corps — Air Force Captain and Mrs. Gerald Ru Mulberry It was a real military wedding when First Lieutenant Louise Mary Goydan, of the U.S. Nurses’ Corps, recently became the bride of Captain Gerald R. Mulberry, of the U. S. Air Force, in an impressive ceremony read in the chapel at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia. Mrs. Mulberry is the daughter of Mrs. Mary Goydan of McKeesport, Pennsylvania, and the late Joseph Goydan; Captain Mulberry is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Mulberry of Brownstown, Indiana. The Rev. Charles Martineau, chaplain, USAF, officiated. Maid of honor was the sister of the bride, Miss Helen Goydan, and bridesmaids were Lieutenants Susanna Noble and Nanette Hood. Best man was Lieutenant Gerry Grawoski and the ushers were Lieutenants Dick Parks and J. J. Hull. Following a reception in the Williamsburg Room of the Officers’ Club, the couple left on a motor trip to Florida. They are now at home in Hampton, Virginia. Since childhood Mrs. Mulberry has been a member of Verhovay in the former Branch 395, McKeesport, Pennsylvania, which branch recently merged with Branch 226 of McKeesport. Her brothel’, Alexander J. Goydan, McKeesport business man, for years held various official positions at Branch 395 and several times won Verhovay membership contests. Her sister Helen also served Branch 395 in its officer posts, especially as manager during the World War II period and until a few years ago. THE FERRET SEZ (Continued from page 7) in a short span of life. That’s what got me down more than anything, until I went down to the basement to see how my number one man was doing with his treasured collection of tools and fishing equipment and hunting gear. I somewhat eased up, thinking of their loss, until I wandered hopelessly into my newly painted golden kitchen and saw how some of my favorite dishes and cooking gear were ruined—the fire coming up the basement got a terrific hold on the kitchen and dining room—and then when I saw my most treasured item of all completly devastated by the smoke, I sat in a corner of the kitchen and bawled my fool head off. What was I moaning about? — My longest philodendron, about seven feet long on both roots, which had been stretched across one wall of my glowing kitchen. A lot of love and tender care grew that monstrously large plant from a bit of a slip. It took nearly two years to grow that baby, and here it hung limp, brown and utterly forsaken. Somehow with all the wonderful neighborly help and the family’s cheerful joking, we managed to get all the stuff packed, some to the renovators, some to Smearman’s garage, and some to Mom’s garage and attic. Here we are, even today, all three members of the Lucas Family, and Frosty, living at Mom’s at her address 2847 Amazon Ave., Dearborn, Mich., until we locate a desirable site for purchasing. Thank goodness, our Skip was in faraway Okinawa and didn’t have to see the old homestead go up in smoke. That was another terrific responsibility, how to tell Skip about our tragedy without scaring him half out of his wits. For instance, we forgot about Luke’s birth day (he’s a Leap Year baby), but we always manage to catch him for an instant at midnight of Feb. 28th. We clean forgot, but I’m almost sure it wasn’t a happy birth day this year. What with all the moving the next two weeks, and getting organized at Mom’s, we clean forgot Skip’s twenty-second birth day on March 7th—the cards were on the desk to be sent in time but they are safely packed away now—perhaps to be used next year! But I’m certain he didn’t enjoy his birth day this year, far from home, and not even a gay message from his folks. He’ll understand by the time he gets our letter and reads this version of the fire as written for the Journal. He’ll really appreciate his home coming, when he finds his family in a lovely new home, in a brand-new neighborhood. • In case anyone cares, current orders are that he sails the latter part of May for home and should be here the first part of June, after 35 months in the Army. Strange, we had planned to buy this spring anyway, but we hoped to put it off untill fall so that Skip could come home to the sanctuary he left just one year ago, today, April 5th, Easter Sunday, when he sailed for Japan and later to Okinawa. Well, kiddo, after so many years on Carson street, it’ll be rather fun to be in a brand new Lucas Family estate. Anyway, Skip, thanks for the long distance call from Okinawa on March 16th—even with you so faraway on that dot of land, it somehow brought the four — no, five—of us closer together.- , Larry is having the toughest time getting adjusted. Just imagine, after 99% of his life being spent on Carson Street, to be so rudely uprooted! In my case, it’s been a bit of a shock — in his case, it’s heartbreaking! Well, I could go on and on, but a fire in the home isn’t the last of it. We feel lonesome and rootless, like perhaps a duck without a pond to swim in. It takes a fire to make one realize how important that little private corner of the world can be, no matter how humble, it’s still “Home, Sweet Home.” Maybe by the time I write again we’ll see a little ray of sun shine around that dream home of ours. Where it will be, how big, how convenient, I don’t know, but I can see a dim, hazy outline of the next Lucas dwelling. Take care of yourselves ... don’t leave any matches or lit cigarettes around. Check your wiring, basements, attics and whereever old Demon can congregate ... Don’t let it happen to you!
