WHEN SHE ATTENDED JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL SHE MET HER BEST FRIEND FOR LIFE, DIANNE DRYDEN. WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL, SHE NOTICED ALL THE GUYS ENTERING THE MILITARY (VIET NAM WAR WAS STILL RAGING), SO, CURIOUS GIRL THAT SHE WAS, SHE ENLISTED IN THE AIR FORCE TO LEARN WHAT ALL THE FUSS WAS ABOUT. AFTER ATTENDING BASIC TRAINING, SHE ATTENDED HER SKILL TRAINING AS A CLERK TYPIST AT KEESLER AFB, MISSISSIPPI. THERE, ON 12 SEPTEMBER 1968, SHE MET THE LOVE OF HER LIFE, KENN.

WHILE IN SPAIN, ON 5 MAY 1970, THEY HAD THEIR FIRST CHILD, CHRISTIE. AT THE TIME, YOU COULD NOT REMAIN IN THE MILITARY IF YOU HAD CHILDREN, SO SHE LEFT MILITARY SERVICE. THEIR SON, SCOTT FOLLOWED ON 17 OCTOBER 1972. DURING KENN’S MILITARY SERVICE OF 24 YRS, ALETA WAS NOT ONE TO BE AN IDLE HOUSEWIFE AND MOTHER, AND SO SHE STARTED A SCHOOL FOR PRESCHOOL AGE CHILDEN.
