Mr. T'S Quest e-bog

Frank Talley joined the navy for a four year hitch to enable him to use the G.I. Bill to attend college. He was stationed at the Jacksonville Naval Base when his enlistment expired. While undergoing his discharge routine he met Megan, the WAVE Assistant to his commanding officer. He asked for a date, she agreed and both quickly fell in love. Frank would be living with his aunt and uncle in Oyster Shores, 20 miles north of Tampa. He invited Megan and her commanding officer to visit him when his aunt and uncle were on a trip she agreed and they spent a delightful visit on the beach. Megan and Frank were happily married for two months when she was killed in a head on collision with a semi driven by a drunken driver. For the next 10 years he lived on the beach in a beautiful home on a beautiful beach on the Gulf of Mexico. For ten years Frank was on a quest to find a wife who would make him as happy as Megan. During his quest he would have his dreams shattered when ladies he fell in love with and who also loved him would somehow have fate change the course of their romance: falling in love with an old lover, moving away, extreme jealousy, or believing he was trying to change them into another Megan. He finally married his dream wife, a woman who grew up and changed under his inadvertent tutelage and friendship.
