Well thanks to your spouse for her service & you supporting her. I didn’t know spouses used to be required to volunteer. I don’t remember hearing about Berlin. I’m not sure where her cousin was stationed. Her husband was also in the army. In his last years he worked in Cowell Powell’s office. I’d love to talk to him now that I’m awake. We have lost contact with that side of the family, she (cousin) passed several years ago. I was in 7th grade when she went & I don’t remember a lot of details of the trip.
Yeah back then as an officer's wife we were expected to be very supportive our our husband's careers. So besides the typical luncheons, teas, coffees, etc. we had to attend we were supposed to be visible in the military community. So volunteering with Army Community Service, Red Cross, Crisis Support, doing bake sales, etc. was expected. And if we sat on the boards of those organizations, extra brownie points for our husband's career! It was the time after "If the Army wanted you to have a wife, they would have issued you one!" They discovered the wives and decided they could put us to work. I don't think they do that stuff anymore, though.
