Harrell: A saving grace Annelore Harrell It must have been 1959 when we met for the first time, Mary Sullivan Curran and I. George William had completed the JAG School ninth career course at the University of Virginia and was promptly sent off to the 1st Cav Division in Korea for a 13-month unaccompanied tour. The children and I went home to Mama and Daddy in Savannah. There wasn't much for me to do in the evening. Most of my girlfriends were married and busy with their families. But I did play cards and that was a saving grace. At Armstrong College where I had worked, there was a bridge group, two tables, some from the faculty, mostly staff members including the librarian that met at night and they welcomed me back. That was good. As a sidebar, I ended up taking a part-time job at the college as a PBX operator and I had never been near a switchboard. Goes to prove, it's not what you know but who.
