George courted Lurleen at a local dime store, where she was a 16-year-old clerk, then went off to World War II service as a B-29 crewman (nine combat missions in the Pacific).

Few people want their copies mailed; they prefer to pay a dime each time the six-page full-sized paper is delivered to their doorstep.
