We're Moving Where?: The Life of a Military Wife - Softcover
Travel! Romance! Adventure! Such is the life of a military wife. Well, it is if your name is Jeanette Russell, who in 1962 married a handsome young airman in her hometown of Sydney, Cape Breton Island, and began a love affair with the military that continues to this day.
Excitement seems to follow Jeanette wherever she goes, whether it's wearing mukluks under a ball gown in Moosonee, waging war against a sewer rat in the Netherlands, or surviving hurricanes in Virginia Beach. As a bride of the Cold War, she learned to endure her husband's long absences and classified assignments and to go head to head against the sometimes senseless military bureaucracy. This during a time when there was no widespread public support for the vital, but often invisible work the military performed.
We're Moving Where? The Life of a Military Wife is a fun-filled memoir that captures the indomitable spirit of Jeanette and Dave Russell, and their two sons, as they travelled to postings in Canada, Europe, and the United States during the 1960s, '70s, and '80s.
