What a beautiful couple. They both look like they would be smart and interesting as well. Wish I could hear their story.

I think being taciturn is very common among WWII veterans and survivors. I respect that, but I hate that it means their stories will be lost. Maybe if you think of it as preserving their story instead of writing a book about them, it will make it feel less awkward.
