My wife was born & raised in the small village of Shipton-U-Wychwood, in Oxfordshire, Engalnd.
I was a young memeber of the US Air Force stationed at good old RAF Upper Heyford when I met her and we married in Oct 1969.
We have been stationed in England 3 times and our most recent visit to the palace was in October of 2001.
The Queen Mother was a grand old lady and a legend in her own right at the time we got married.
She proved to be a pilar of strength thru the Princess Di tragedy and more recently Princess Margret's death.
We are truely saddened by the death of this great lady.
May God Bless her soul
