I agree it is a lot of maybe's LOL! But one thing I'm pretty sure of is that the photo was taken in a boardwalk photo shop/studio (check out the floor they are standing on) as the floor is typical for that, thin-slatted wood, so they can sweep that sand out easier. You can laugh, but remember I was right about it being a male and military and I think I'm right about the dates. I do love the story though and I can even visualize it.(smile). By the way, I really liked your blog.
