This is The Bird Show.

I don't think any of us can remember the details about Mr. Tyle.

We just know that it's a really romantic story.

Yeah, I mean, it's just about Mr. Dyle and a woman he was in love with when he was a teenager.

And then, you know, we'll learn here from his own words how they were separated and then lost touch, and then they lived their lives,

and then it was just this really serendipitous, you know, course of events that allowed them to come back together.

And what was he like in his mid, late 70s?

Something like that, yes.

Okay, so this is the true story, the true love story of Mr. Dial.

Well, the story starts in uh... wartime years when uh...

uh... everybody had to be employed in a war production plant and

we were

uh... i worked for the fulton sylphan company in knoxville we were making aircraft

instruments uh... for for the war effort. And we were hiring

people to come in and do the work that had no previous experience. I was appointed as the

training instructor for my department, and the day I got appointed, the first person that walked

in was Ms. Vanada Anderson. She was the

pretty, she was the prettiest woman I think I had ever seen at that time. She just absolutely

gave me a complete meltdown. But she was married and I was a shy 19-year-old, so there was

nothing going on except the relationship of a supervisor and an employee.

That went on for a solid year, and when I went to the Army myself in 43, I had so much on

my plate at the time that I just forgot all my names of all the people I had worked with.
