My Father's Haitian Girlfriend

My Father served in the Marine Corp from 1930-1934. And was part of the American occupation of Haiti. He wanted to ltearn French, and found a local woman to teach him that. She had a daughter Dad's age, and she fell in love with him.

But when he returned to Ft, Madison, Iowa - his relatives were horrified. As far as they were concerned - she was Black,and wanted nothing to do with her. Dad married a local woman instead.
