runaway southern belle
It had started as a fantasy. A daring little tease for each other. The appealing idea of youthful adventure: running away for a romantic meet-up in New Orleans. Joey was a twenty-two-year-old Navy man; Alben, a sixteen-year-old Oklahoma beauty, (sixteen going on thirty-three), the daughter of a bank vice-president. The girl has dreams of being a movie star, on the silver screen. They had even picked a date: January 20, 1949. Neither had given a single thought to the fact, that that was the very day Alben’s great-uncle Alben, for whom she was named, was being sworn in as Harry Truman’s vice-president. Adventure is commenced! Then! The teenage girl arrives in New Orleans. There is no Joey there to greet her as she steps off the train.
