[AT] Way OT: Croatian heritage?

[charlie hill]

Dean,  the father of two girls I grew up with lost his wife a few years ago. 
He was in his late 70's.   He had left a girl friend behind long ago and 
while fighting in WWII met a girl in England and married her.  She was the 
mother of the girls I grew up with.  A year or so later his brother ran into 
the girl friend that he had before the war at a college class reunion. 
Turns out she was living in Nebraska and had also lost her husband.  They 
started talking and eventually got together.  They've had a long distance 
relationship ever since.  He still lives here in coastal NC and she is still 
in Nebraska but the visit back and forth on a regular basis.

I hope your story turns out as nicely as there's did.

Charlie
