Anjette Donovan was born in Macon, Georgia in 1925. She had her parents, two brothers, and came from a very loving financially stable family. She was well educated and had many friends at school, despite being a mediocre student. Her classmates mostly remembered her as "the girl who usually got what she wanted".

Everyone would compliment her on her beauty and she always had boys crushing on her, wanting to take her out and talk to her, etc.... When she left high school, it was the same thing. Everywhere she went, she received attention from men.

Damn... 

A young and handsome local and World War II veteran, Ben Franklin Lyles, Jr., catches the eye of her beauty.

Fun fact, it has been said that he was a very good catch himself. But, judge for yourself.
