Ernest, a World War II veteran, arrived back in the U.S. on Oct. 26, 1945. Soon after his return to his home in Dennysville, he went to Eastport to see what was going on. He met Muriel Carter as she was coming out of the movie theater and as they say “the rest is history.” They were married one year later on Oct. 26, 1946, which was also the one-year anniversary of Ernest’s return from the war.
