| Notes |
- Venice Eames Conrad, Journal
This is a copy of a journal I started years ago and when a bishop t o l d m e that I should do it. He suggested I do it, before he gave me re co m men d for the temple. I’m Venice Eames Conrad. Geddes was left ou t o f m y bi rth certificate, somehow. I was born April 23, 1915 in Prest on , Ida ho. In May, 1941, Rielly Daniel Conrad asked me for a date a s a tha nk y o u gesture. We had a pleasant evening, so we continued to s ee eac h othe r. He was a tall blond young man with incredible blue eye s from Se attl e, Washington. We are both in San Francisco Bay, area work ing for th e A rm y. He was stationed on the north side of the Golden Gat e Bridg e a s a fir st lieutenant at Fort Cronkrite for one year’s activ e duty . A s a newly c ommissioned second lieutenant I was a nurse at th e Presid io a t Letterman' s General Hospital on the south end of the bea utiful br idge. We enjoye d dancing, movies, sightseeing rides out in th e country a n d just being to gether. Rielly was and is a sweet man in s o many ways . He was an only c hild and missed his home very much. It see med he tal k ed of marriage so m uch, I wondered if he could be sincere s o soon . A s a middle Child in a f amily of nine children, I wasn't sure , even a t 2 6 years, I was Ready to s ettle down. He was about two year s older an d v ery persistent. He was fr om a city while I grew up in a s mall town o f P reston, Idaho in the nort h end of the lovely valley an d surrounded b y mo untains. We didn’t know e ach others folks. He ha d a strong Christia n u pbringing, but no formal re ligion. For 17 year s I had a rather ster n LD S training. Now I was inact ive. Rielly’s lov e and caring was just w ha t I needed to change my life. On November 20 , 1941, we were marrie d i n Reno, Nevada. We had a beaut iful trip plann ed in the Southwest. W e w ere still on our honeymoon whe n Pearl Harbo r was announced over th e radi o. We were in Phoenix, Arizona. This was D ecember, the seventh, 19 41, of course. His leave was cancele d, and we r eturned to San Francisc o an d almost three more years of Army l ife.
