[Magdalen] Gap year (or more)

[Esther Williamson]

I was married during my Junior year of college. He went to Korea and 
returned to college. I was moved out of my dorm into another dorm and 
into a single room because "I might discuss things that a roommate 
shouldn't know"!  She was, of course, my Maid of Honor and best friend 
and we were in classes together so we still saw each other frequently. 
This was in 1954.
