A Rendezvous to Remember

The true story of a soldier, a pacifist, and the woman who loved them both

In June 1964, Ann Garretson skips her college commencement to tour Europe with Lieutenant Jack Sigg, a tank commander on the German-Czech border, with the hope of returning as his fianc. A month later, her best friend, Terry, proposes marriage--by mail--throwing all their lives into turmoil.

Jack offers the military life Ann knows as an army brat. Terry, a conscientious objector, will leave for the Peace Corps at summer's end, unless the draft board intervenes and sends him to jail. Her dilemma: she loves them both.

Caught between the old mores and winds of change, Ann must make an agonizing choice. With humor and unbridled candor, A Rendezvous to Remember presents firsthand accounts by the two who eventually married, enriched by the multitude of letters from the rival, whose path led him elsewhere.
