Rear Admiral Stanhope C. Ring (Navy) spotted Mrs. Thompson (Betty) on the roof of our Kwajalein house one day, making a temporary repair. He asked, "Is that you Mrs. Thompson?" She replied, "Yes sir." He asked, "What are you doing up there?" She said, "Repairing the roof." He replied, "Probably only a Marine's wife would do that.".
