She is torn – her supervisor advises her to finish her degree and doctorate, but Meri lets her heart rule her head and agrees to join Alden before completing her doctorate. They marry in Pittsburgh but Alden has to return to Santa Fe.
He wants them to get married, and for Meri to join him there. They get engaged in 1943, when Alden is picked to work on a top secret project in Santa Fe – The Manhattan Project at Los Alamos. I didn’t tell him about Jerry, and while Alden once referred to an ex-wife, I didn’t know if he had a current romantic interest in his life. Alden Whetstone is a physicist and he was talking about the mechanics of flight and soon after class discussion leads to tentative steps towards a relationship:Īlden and I didn’t really date – I think we fooled ourselves into thinking we were spending time together. However, she never thought she would fall for one of her lecturers. There she dates Jerry – and they have fun – but Meri isn’t sure it’ll ever go anywhere.
In 1941 Meridian ‘Meri’ Wallace wins a place at university in Chicago to study ornithology.
