In April, 1967 my brother, Harvey Cooley, met a soldier, David Lawson during basic training. In their free time, they hung out together. As the weeks went by, they grew very close, almost like brothers. However, after basic training, soldiers moved on to advanced training. They thought they would never see each other again.
One day in September, 1967, these men were both in California waiting for transport to the front. Harvey and David had an unexpected surprise when they ran into each other.

A mother and her daughter have made their wedding day extra special –by having a joint ceremony
Kim Milhano, 28, and Susan Scott Williams, 51, got married together after their partners suggested the best friends share their special day. The pair, who are often mistaken for sisters, combined their weddings at a hotel near their homes in Bristol. Mother-of-two Kim said, “Sharing my big day with another bride could make it feel half as special but it actually brought us double the joy. My mum and I are the best mates and so the whole day was perfect.”
Kim, a care assistant, and her husband Carlos, 45, a construction worker, had been engaged for eight years but never got round to tying the knot. It was only when her mother found live for the second time that her new partner Barry, 46, a painter and decorator, and Carlos worked together to convince the girls of their idea for a double wedding. Kim and Susan then spent months planning their big day together choosing different dresses but matching bridesmaid gowns, bouquets and music.
After walking up two aisles in a V-shape, the brides met their husbands for their ceremonies, which were followed by a huge party for 180 people, including the families of brides and grooms. And because they had one giant wedding instead of two, the family managed to save a quarter of the cost of the ￡8，000 event.
Kim said, “When Carlos rang me and said ‘I think you need to sit down’, I was worried one of the kids was hurt. So it was a bit of a relief when he said he wanted to have a double wedding with my mum and Barry. Up until then day-to-day life had taken over and we’d never have time or money to plan a wedding.” “Mum and Barry were happy for us to do things completely our way but I didn’t want to take over.

What's the allure(魅力）of coffee shops? It's been said that J.K. Rowling wrote the Harry Potter books sitting in the elephant house in Edinburgh.
Many people spend hours in these places nursing a coffee as they work away on their laptops. But if you're spending all your first novel yet, the costs can really add up.
For those who work outside of a traditional office or just want to take time out, there's a new alternative in London: a pay-per-minute cafe.
You can linger for as long as you like in the Ziferblat coffee shop. You'll be given a clock when you come in to keep time, When you leave, you return the item and pay the bill.

Customers help themselves to coffee and cookies. They can also bring their own food to eat on the premises while accessing the Internet through Wi-Fi.

"With my mates, we were building tree houses where rules of society didn't exist, "he says.
Meetin believes his coffee shop is a bit like "social media", but with a face. Like-minded people go there to socialize. Some feel so much at home that they wash the dishes.
