Barbara,

Thanks for replying. I think I have found and joined all of these groups. I just wondered if you knew Cindy Aven because of your post about her passing. I believe her family returned to Gitmo after the Missile Crisis was over-not sure how long they stayed. My father's tour was up, so we didn't return.

Hi all! Cindy Aven and I were classmates, her family apparently did return after the Missile Crisis because we were in class together then. I didn't recall her before the Crisis but it's easy to mix up the "before and after" of those days; we were evacuated, my father stayed, and then we returned.

Cindy was wonderful and I'm proud to say a friend way back then, I was shocked to see that she had passed and don't know of the circumstances. So glad that we were friends, friends were sure critical to me back then as my father and stepmother had issues. I'm not on Meta so this is my lifeline to my Gitmo Days and was glad to have attended the 2015 Reunion.

Things were confusing before, during, and after the Missile Crisis. I find that it happened so long ago that people don't remember it and then I remember I'm nearly 3/4 of a century old. The school history books just gloss over it and barely mention it. The older I get, the more often I am asked questions. It was one of the main pivotal points of my life, my concept of life, my relationship with the Lord, my relationship with the Navy and with my family. You all make that part of my life seem real and good. Thank you who post here and at the other sites.
