Ernie and Carolyn met at Penn State University in 1962. Ernie walked into the--then mandatory for those pledging in the Greek System--Manners Class . He strode into the empty room and sat right down next to Carol Sue. After class, they went to the HUB for a Coke. Thus beginneth the saga. In June 1965, the two were married in Ben Avon, PA. They had to fit the wedding and the honeymoon in between graduation/Naval commissioning and the first duty station. Thus they were married on a Wednesday and had to be at their first duty station the following Monday. They spent the first two nights in NYC and the other two where else? Montauk.
