Serving in Silence: The Margarethe Cammermeyer Story Page #2

I got another friend to

pick up at the bus station.

- Feel like driving?

- Sure.

Great.

Hey, good looking.

There she is.

Hi, Professor.

- Hiya, creep.

- Hi, creep.

I'm still hoping for some

of that legendary rain.

My friend Grethe. My friend Diane.

- Hi.

- Hi, you like rain?

On a barbecue? Not too much.

Well, I'm from the desert.

I like shade and water.

Like a little cow pony.

It's great to see you.

Grethe's Norwegian. She

can't get enough sun.

- And you live in Seattle?

- Doesn't make any sense, does it?

- It's good to see you.

- It's good to see you, too.

Do you mind if we swing home through town?

I gotta pick something up at the market.

I got it over here.

Come on, Tom.

Oh, no.

- We'll get you.

- You ain't getting by!

Yeah!

- Come on, come play.

- Oh, no, thanks.

- Come on.

- Oh, she doesn't want to.

- I'm a dud.

- So, haul over here, dud.

You're embarrassing me.

Okay.

Come on.

- Okay, everybody set?

- Yeah.

Okay, all right. Ten, ten, hut.

Go, go, go.

Touchdown!

So, was I beautiful?

Hang your head, Tom Dooley

Hang your head and cry

Killed poor Laura Foster

Poor boy, you're bound to die

- Good night, sleep well.

- You, too.

Sleep well.

Are you gonna go with them?

You know, I'm not really a dud.

Oh, he was way out of line.

Why? Means he liked me.

- They're good kids.

- Yeah.

They live with their father.

I see them on weekends.

Boys need a father.

Maybe everybody needs a father.

How long have you known Susan and Anne?

When Anne had the brain

surgery, I was her nurse.

- Oh, that was in San Francisco.

- I worked down there for a couple of years.

The hospital didn't want to

let Susan room in with her.

I took the position that they were

a couple just like any other couple.

- And I can see you're persuasive.

- I'm persistent.

You can usually get around

the rules if you know how.

You wanna help me with my taxes?

Kidding, Colonel.

Now wait a minute. All

your kids are Mormons?

Louis got converted after our divorce.

So, yeah, all my kids are Mormons.

That's why Matt's in

Norway, my oldest boy.

He's on his mission.

He speaks Norwegian. I

taught all of them Norwegian.

Now, I'm still back on Louis.

Why did he become a Mormon?

He likes structure.

He's remarried.

Are you ever tempted?

To get married again? No.

That's me.

You made some improvements.

Actually, I didn't.

Can I keep it?

All yours.

I can't even draw a stick figure.

That's okay. I can't even

put a band-aid on straight.

Were you ever married?

I had a long relationship.

Even good things come to an end.
