It was the spring of '64 that my roommate Jane and I heard about the USO club.
We decided to check it out one weekend night that we didn't have other plans, which was rare. A Friday evening did come up that neither one of us had something else to do, so we went on down there. It was a club for military service members. They could come in there and play cards, board games or play the jukebox. If we decided to do this, we would be the hostesses. We would serve refreshments and play cards with them or sometimes one of them would want to dance to a song on the jukebox.There were two elderly ladies in charge of the place. The only real rule was that we were not to leave with or otherwise date these guys. We decided to go ahead and do this, it was a new experience and if we didn't like it we could just quit, it was voluntary. I found out I really liked these men in uniform. They were fun to be around and interesting to talk to.

oh, oh! I see where this is going... but I do have to say that this is another story that would make me nervous in today's day and time. I'd never want my young girls hanging out, playing hostess to a bunch of young GI's.
