No, I'm not referring to that gentle, romantic ballad by Aerosmith. This is an older and true story set during World War II. Paul Wilson shares the story of how he met the love of his life while she was working as an elevator operator in Wichita, Kansas. It's a sweet How I Met Your Mother story that he tells his daughter.
The recording is part of an interview conducted as part of NPR's StoryCorps project. This ongoing enterprise encourages people to interview each other, especially older friends and relatives, and share those stories. StoryCorps has excellent resources to help you participate so that we can document the lives of people dear to us.
