One day in approximately 2003, shortly after Gen Y and I were married, General Yeager got a package from Australia.
An Australian fellow had written that he had commissioned an artist to do a pencil sketch of General Yeager’s lovely wife. The reason was two-fold. He wanted to patronize and help the artist and he wanted to honor Gen Yeager and his wife.
As GCY unwrapped the framed sketch, he hesitated. It was a beautiful sketch of Glennis. And GCY just wasn’t sure how I would react.
I looked at it, paused, and exclaimed: “Well, that looks nothing like me!”
GCY’s look was priceless – I think in a nanosecond, it went from uh oh/wincing for what might come from a typical second wife, to incredulous – does she not see – to great mirth as he saw me unable to contain a big smile.
He gave me the greatest compliment in our family: You’re weird.
