And, since Kay apparently met Michael in college, and he went right into the Armed Forces after Pearl Harbor, she had no up-front reason to doubt Michael when he said, "That's my family, Kay--it's not me."
Turnbull, you bring up an interesting question. Did Mike meet Kay in college? Since I believe he is supposed to have gone to Dartmouth, which is located in New Hampshire, which makes it very feasible. Was she also a student or one of the local girls?
I am trying to visualize a time line as to when Mike went to college and when he enlisted in the Marines. Did he enlist before going to college, or the other way around. How old would Mike have been in December in 1941?
