I have a fond memory of New Bern, North Carolina as a military brat . . . .
My family lived nearby at the Marine Corps Base at Cherry Point. On this given day, I accompanied by dad on his trip to New Bern to run errands. I think I was 7 years old. We stopped at a drugstore, and as he was occupied, I strayed away to explore. I remember perusing the aisles, and eventually came upon some color magazines with scantily-clad women on the covers. I picked one up and flipped it open. And just like that, I was no longer a virgin. The next thing I knew, my dad appeared and snatched the magazine out of my hands and he pulled me out of the store.
As a 7 year-old's brain works. . . . I remember thinking that I was certainly going to come back to New Bern when I grew up, so I could get another look at that magazine !
