She had her daydream.

Tall, beautiful, blonde Patti Kalitzke, known as “Ski,” to her friends, had just crew-cut her hair like a character straight from a Dick Tracy comic book. A popular 16 year-old junior at Great Falls High School in 1956, she’d fallen head-over-heels for a handsome young airman stationed at nearby Malmstrom Air Force Base, and they were already talking marriage. 18 year-old Lloyd Duane Bogle, from Waco, Texas, was a Christmas guest at the Kalitzke home, and had stayed over the new year.
