Nancy Graves Interview6
Q:
Did you grow up in a military family?
A:
No, I did not. My father was in the paper business. However, my uncle was a Regular
Army officer, so I saw the Army from their life and was familiar with it.
Q:
Where did you grow up?
A:
I was born in Baltimore [Maryland].
When I was two years old, we moved
to Hamilton, Ohio. When I was 12,
we moved to a little town in
Massachusetts.
Q:
So you had a little bit of an idea
about moving around yourself, didn't
you?
A:
I did indeed. Much more than my
husband did, who was an Army brat.
Q:
You know, that's a point.
A:
He lived all his life here in
Washington, where his father was on
active duty in one place.
Q:
That's right. That's exactly right.

And that's unusual. I hadn't thought
of that.
