"We kind of had a hunch they were going to be married," Day na recalled. "The only way I can explain it," Dayna said smiling, "is that like daughter, like mother, and like son, like father." The elder Taylor explains it this way: "The youngsters got along so well together, we thought we would too."

Tom will be commission ed a second lieutenant in the Ma rines on June 24th the morn ing of the wedding, and is un certain how soon he will be called to Quantico, Va., to be gin his two-year stint.
