Thank you Jesse and Molly
On the 27th of October 1966, I was alone, recently assigned to Bergstrom AFB and new to Austin. I believe God was watching over me because I have had so much that I had experienced, even though I was only 18 years old.
It was then that I met Mary Jo.
I had no idea that we would ever see each other again and I was “just passing through”. The following week I found myself walking downtown Austin.
From a distance, I heard a small voice call out my name “Frank”. Certainly it wasn’t me the voice was calling for. “Frank” came the call again. I stopped and turned to see who was calling. It was that cute little girl I met last week, Mary Jo.
We began to see each other more frequently and then the day came when she invited me to meet her parents.
Needless to say, I was nervous.
I met Jesse and Amelia, and was immediately fed!
Those who already know of Jesse and Molly, know they always had a big plate of food and a big smile for you!
I will always believe it was my God watching over me. I have never gone hungry or felt as a stranger in their company. They have always referred to me as the “favorite son-in-law”. I am honored.
I will forever cherish my memories of them. Thank you, Jesse and Molly and especially you, Mary Jo, for calling my name.
