Marie and 1st Lt. John Clark radiate happiness after getting married in Iowa, July 10, 1945. The couple met in May 1944 at Las Vegas Army Base, during World War II. John was training to be a co-pilot in a B-17 Flying Fortress aircraft, and Marie was a Women’s Air Force Service Pilot, otherwise known as WASP, and graduated with her wings two months before he did. Her duties included flying fighter aircraft and performed mock fighter attacks on B-17s. John was stationed at the 100th Bomb Group at Thorpe Abbotts, England, and flew 32 missions over Germany. They were married one year later and were together for 63 years, until Marie passed away in 2008. (Courtesy photo from Clark family)
