The soldiers came home and were earnestly trying to carry on with their lives. The place to meet future partners were at the community dances that were taking place in every town, city, village big enough to have a community hall. My parents met at the Union Bay Community Hall where they went to dance to the strains of the small local band &#8211; that could include any combination of instruments that happened to live there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for the beautiful art Sandi!
