As a retired Air Force OSI Agent (Office of Special Investigations), my husband continued to work in a civilian capacity in the same job. While on active duty Air Force and stationed in Naples, Italy, he was reassigned to Wright Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, OH in 1987. He retired from active duty at WPAFB in 1988 and after working in a related career as a civilian for a couple of years, he obtained a civil service position returning to the Air Force Office of Special Investigations once again in a civilian capacity.
We purchased a home in Dayton in 1991. A large 2-1/2 story frame home built in 1914 with 4-5 bedrooms and a full basement. It was a beautiful older home, built in 1914 with craftmanship not often found in today's modern structures. Throughout the home, was beautiful dark woodwork around the doorways, a spacious living room with double mantel fireplace and the pre-existing wiring, plumbing and heating system had all been updated to meet modern day codes and demands.
We loved this home. We had hosted many family gatherings such as holiday events, family visits, not to mention we watched our children leave home from this house as they grew up, they introduced their prospective spouses to us in that house, and eventually grandchildren began making their entrance which made that home feel so much more a part of us. Many, many wonderful memories were made in that home.
We never thought we would leave that home to move anywhere else, but it happened. Please read next blog for more information.
