Dear Ann Landers,
ur oldest son is thirty-three, unmar-ried, and in the Army. We've been hoping Everett would find a nice girl and settle down. Everett telephoned last night from Texas. He said, "I've met her at last. She's the loveliest girl in the world. We are getting married this weekend." I was thrilled. Then he said, "I think I ought to tell you she is preg-nant and that the baby isn't mine. But I want to marry her anyway." I thought I was hearing things, Ann, like maybe someone else's conversation was hooked into our line. I said, "Please, son, repeat that." Well, he said it again, the very same thing. Both my husband and I are in a daze. Is she trying to trap him? What should we tell our friends about the baby? Please help us.-State Of Shock

Dear State,
If Everett is thirty-three, he's old enough to know what he's doing. Hope for the best, give them your bless-ings, and wish him luck. (He'll need it.) In the meantime, the fewer details to family and friends, the better.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
