“Enterprise arrived home in San Francisco Bay on April 28, 1983. “I long to have you home,” she wrote him, promising delights. “Look for the white 1957 Rolls-Royce, a chauffeur, and me, the lady in red.” The boys in the radio room were jealous. Jerry seemed to have it all. Indeed, Brenda had ridden to the dock in a rented Rolls-Royce and was waiting for him in high heels, dark stockings, and a fetching bright red dress with a white linen jacket. But as the aircraft carrier neared the... pier, it ran aground on a sand bar and remained stuck for five hours until the incoming tide could free it. By the time Jerry came ashore, the bill for the Rolls had risen to $470. It didn’t matter. Brenda tipped the chauffeur two twenty-dollar bills and thanked him for sticking around for nine hours. Jerry had a surprise for Brenda too. He had bought two of the most expensive seats at the San Francisco Opera for the 1983 summer season.MoreLessRead More Read Less
