World War II Vet Finally Takes His Sweetheart to Prom 66 Years Later
But all that’s changed now. On June 18, he finally got to twirl his wife on the dance floor at the Hillsborough County Aging Services Senior Prom.
“It just made us feel alive again,” said LaVerne, who donned a gorgeous gold gown that reminded her of her younger years.

Ralph, looking handsome in his grey jacket and black bow tie, was officially crowned prom king after his name was drawn out of a hat.
“Since 1944 when I joined the Marine Corps until this date today I never thought I’d be a king, and here I am a king,” he beamed with pride.
