Setting the record straight: Barbra wasn't a navy nurse

For the record, just like Becca, I don't think I realized Grandma hadn't really been a navy nurse until sometime after she died (which happened about eight months before I returned from Brazil).

Grandpa did serve in the navy during World War II in the Pacific Theater. He was on a destroyer that was torpedoed by the Japanese; but, it turns out Barbra and Marvin didn't meet at a naval hospital...

Instead, they were setup on a blind date while they were both students at the University of Utah after the war.
