Carol's First Husband

Carol was in a hurry to get out on her own.  Back in those days, it just wasn't proper to live alone.  A girl needed to be married in order to get out from under her family's control.  When Carol was sent to live with sister Nina, she met a guy, and before too long they were married.  Everyone called him Bill. This grainy photo is Bill and Carol Tompsett. This rushed marriage was a ill-fated decision that they would both come to regret.
