IT’S THE REAL THING! — Sand and sea water from the shores of Waikiki
Beach are in the bottle that Terrie Buckner (left) shows to Pamela Dove. Both girls
are employed in the Karastan Service Center Billing Department.
Couple Rendezvous In Hawaii
There’s a little bit of Hawaii right
here in Eden.
Terrie Buckner, an employee of the
Karastan Service Center Billing De
partment, recently traveled to Hono
lulu to be with her husband, Rodney,
who was on rest and recuperation leave
from Vietnam.
When she returned she brought a
small bottle filled with sand and sea
water from Waikiki Beach, a reminder
of the happy time she spent in the
“Aloha” state.
For Terrie it was only the second
time she had seen her husband since
they were married. It’s been mostly
a long distance romance for the couple.
“We were even engaged by telephone,”
Terrie said. “He called from Ft. Camp
bell, Ky., where he was stationed, to
ask me to marry him.”
The wedding date was December 13,
1970. Rodney arrived on December 12
and returned to duty on January 8.
As Terri put it, “it seemed like he step
ped off the plane, down the aisle, and
back on the plane again.”
Her husband is scheduled for dis
charge on January 10, 1972, but Terrie
has her fingers crossed for an early
discharge, one that will bring him home
for Christmas. “If he’s not home for
Christmas,” she said, “we will just have
to have Christmas twice!”
Rodney is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
John Buckner. Mr. Buckner is assist
ant manager of the Fieldcrest Store,
Eden, and Mrs. Buckner (Loraine) is
employed in the Data Processing De
partment, General Offices. Rodney’s
brother, Kevin, is an employee of the
Sheet Finishing Mill.
