My name is James Edwards. The story you are about to read is mine. Let me start at the beginning and give you a little background before you proceed. I was married for nearly half a century to Marybeth, the sunshine in my otherwise dull life. I lost Marybeth to cancer a few years back. We had no children. I've sold my house to my neighbor, and friend, and decided to take the European vacation that Marybeth and I always talked about, but never happened. I have no need for a large home anymore, now that I've retired. When packing the few personal belongings I decided to keep, I came across my old Air Force uniforms, and a few other items I could not force myself to give up. Among them was an old photograph of myself and a young woman I knew, and dated, during the war, World War II, that is. Her name was Joann Dennison, and she lived in London. Since I would be stopping in London for a short time, I decided to look for Joann.. London was on my agenda of places to visit anyhow, and since I would be traveling alone, it might make the trip more interesting. I had no idea of the characters I would be meeting during the coming weeks. Had I known, I might have had second thoughts about the trip. As it happened though, I experienced love and hate, pettiness and pride, and an adventure I never dreamed possible. I hope you decide to come along on my little adventure. I'm sure you'll experience the same emotions should you decide to join me. You might speculate about the outcome of my little narrative, but I truly doubt you'll guess the ending correctly.Enjoy the story.
