Being In Control

Since she was not one to make the first move when it comes to relationships, Peggy did not follow up with Billie’s father’s request for her to send a letter to Billie. So as Billie was informed by his dad about how Peggy was, he took matters into his own hands. He took a chance and started sending a letter to this girl his father had spoken so fondly about. Peggy revisits her memories of the time he made his first move saying,“I began to get letters from Billie. I was a little fearful of this man, who had not seen me but he thought I was okay. So when he came on leave (from the army), all of a sudden the door to the airplane opened and there was Billie Harris saying ‘Hello Peggy,’ and that was about it.”
