#1 was the lie. I did go to Ricks College but had not declared a major when I went there.
I did have dinner with Bob Hope. I was president of the USO volunteer organization in San Diego. We had our annual HUGE fundraiser and he was the guest of honor. Another bit of trivia. Not my first encounter with Bob Hope. He did a USO show in Alaska when I was in 4th grade and they wanted a children's act. 3 boys and 3 girls to sing and dance. Hundreds of us tried out and I was one of the girls selected.
I did fly out to aircraft carriers. I was on a team of supply inspectors. We would fly out to the carriers when they were out doing workups off the coast of San Diego to perform surprise inspections of their storerooms. There was one time that we had to stay over night. This was back in the time of no women on carriers so I was the only female onboard the entire ship. I stayed in one of the officer cabins and had an armed Marine at my door.
