WWII veteran to reunite with wartime girlfriend in Australia
Norwood Thomas, 93, of Virginia Beach, will travel to Adelaide next month to meet Joyce Morris, 88, who lingers in Australia with limited vision. The two, who met in England before he parachuted into Normandy with the 101st Airborne, connected via Skype after stories of their romance went public. Donations totaling about 7500 funded the trip, with Air New Zealand arranging free passage for Thomas and his caretaker son Steve. They plan to spend Valentine’s Day together, describing a mix of emotion and hope for a face to face reunion.
