Eighteen year old Joyce had never traveled far from small villages in northern New Hampshire except for the last year in Portland, Maine. As far as she knew, none of her grandparents had left New England either, some had been here since the 1600's. She wanted adventure. On the spur of the moment she joined the Marines. She never dreamed she would not return for forty years.
Eighteen year old Bradford, nick-named Corky, had never left Tucson, Arizona. His Irish and English grandparents had migrated west before the Civil War. His Mexican grandfather was living in Tucson in Territorial days.
They were a recorded part of Tucson's history. His induction into the Marines introduced him to his own adventures.
Joyce, nick-named Colorado, shares her experiences that will make you laugh and cry as she is immersed in another culture and is considered a foreigner. She later laughs when Corky becomes a foreigner in New Hampshire.
