Mary Maxwell’s photo collection tells the rest of the origin story. From the spring of 1948 pictures show her at dances, parties, and other college events with the chiseled guy. But by early 1950 she must have moved on, no more of that other guy, just a picture from the Dreamer’s Holiday Semi-formal in early 1950: my future mom and dad, seated at a table, beaming at the camera. My dad graduated that spring, with both an undergraduate and a law degree, thanks to an accelerated program offered to veterans. My mom graduated a year later with a degree in education.

玛丽·麦斯威尔的相册补充了这个故事的其他细节。1948年春天拍摄的照片显示，她和那位轮廓分明的男人一起跳舞、参加派对以及其他大学活动。但到了1950年初，他们应该分手了，相册里不再有那个男人的照片，只有一张1950年初的照片：在以流行歌曲《追梦假期》（Dreamer’s Holiday）为主题的半正式舞会上，我未来的爸妈坐在桌旁，对着镜头微笑。我爸在那年春天毕业，同时取得了大学与法律学位，这要归功于当时为退伍军人提供的加速课程。我妈则在一年后毕业，取得了教育学学位。
