On Edwin and Denece’s second date, in 1950, they went to the
Idaho Department Store in Pocatello with Bobby Holmberg who was looking for silverware. They ended up buying a set as well. It was William Rodgers silverware. S & W Green stamps (which were given out
for purchases at grocery stores, gas stations, and all kinds of stores) were
used as a down payment. They were silver
plated and eventually they were given to Bobby Holmberg and his wife. Grandma Dora never said a word but had a
strange look on her face when they came home and told her they had bought silverware
on their date.
While Edwin was in the air force, he would send money home for Denece to pay off the silverware with.
