Banner Planes Go Two for Two ‘Moe, Will You Marry Me?’ Marion, Please Many Me’

By JOE ZELNIlt^ Who says romance is dead? Two fellows proposed marriage to two gals via banner airplanes last Wednesday. Both said yes. Rest assured they’ll live happily ever after. Tom Quinn of the Ocean Towers in Wildwood popped the question to Maureen Peters, also of Wildwood at 11:30 a.m. with a banner that read: “Moe. Will You Marry Me? Tom." They were on the balcony of his condo. She cried. Then she said “yes." Joseph Hussong of Merchantville laid the big question on Marion Bockelmann of Vienna, Austria, at 12:58 p.m. with a banner that read, "Marion, Please Marry Me! Joe." They were on a blanket on Cape May’s Congress Beach. She said "sure.’’ Barbara Tomaiino of Paramount Air Service at the Cape May County Airport said this was the first time she remembers the service senting up two marriage proposals in one day. In fact, she said, a half-dozen a year is normal. THE PRICE for each - personal message was $110. Neither Tom nor Joe is complaining. Tom, bar manager at

Urle’s Pegleg Parrot Lounge in Wildwood, has been dating Maureen, who works in the office at the Super Fresh in Cape May Court House, for a year. He’s 34; she’s 23. They’d "talked about marriage,” he said, but nothing definite. He invited her over to breakfast at his place last Wednesday morning. The plane circled the jtorth building of Ocean Towers with its message. Maureen said she was "stunned. "I started crying, she said. "Then I hugged ’em. But I didn’t answer. He said, ‘Will ya?’ and I said, Yes.’ " Then Tom took out the ring he’d picked out on his own and slid it on her finger. It fit. "Then she really started crying," he said. Maureen said the wedding will be "sometime in ’84, probably in the spring.” JOE. 35. AN Eastern Airlines pilot, met Marion, 20, on vacation in Vienna last October. They were in a coffee shop, "standing next to each other in line, and got to talking," he said. One thing led to another and Joe made seven or eight trips to Austria last year. Then he decided to bring Marion, a law student at the University of Vienna, to visit this country in June. Joe, who lived in West Cape May as a boy and loves Cape May, brought Marion down for the day. "We had been discussing marriage" he said, "and, being an airline pilot, "I thought a nice aviation message would be appropriate.” The plane was due at 1 p.m. and Joe was "very nervous it would be late and she might want to get lunch and I’d have to think of some way to keep her.” Then he spied the plane. Lt. McCoy in SAC Exercise MARMORA - First Lt. Timothy J. McCoy, son of Ernest S. and Emmajane McCoy of 605 Keats Ave., has participated in Global Shield 83, an exercise invloving U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps units, and elements of the Canadian forces. McCoy is assigned with the 7th Bombardment Wing at Carswell Air Force Base, Texas.

Doris Ward SHE SAID ‘YES’ — Maureen Peters and Thomas Quinn make plans for their own wedding album.

So, he handed her a camera and said "Take a picture of this plane coming up the beach." "WE ARE ALWAYS talking about aircraft," she said, "so I didn’t think anything about it. I saw the name ’Marion* and I thought it must be a coincidence. Then I saw him grinning and I knew it was arranged for me.” “She was, looking through the lens and said ’It can’t be true,’ ’’ said Joe. "When it dawned on her, she jumped on me. Then some lady on a towel nearby said, ’Will you do it?’ She said ‘yes,’ to the lady; then she said ‘sure’ to me." Joe doesn’t have the ring yet, but he did pick up the diamond on vacation in Hong Kong recently. They went shopping for a setting this week. The couple plans to return to Austria in Oc-

tober and arrange for a wedding there in November or December He became a Navy pilot in 1970 and has been with Eastern for a little over four years. NEITHER HAPPY story ended with the proposal, of course. Tom had about 15 friends visiting in an apartment down the hall and, after Moe said yes, he gave them a call and "we had a celebration." Joe and Marion went toi the Washington Inn in Cape May for dinner that night "I wanted to strike back somehow," she said. So. she excused herself to go to the ladies room and worked out things with the manager. Dessert, for Joe who "loves sweet things," was a vanilla cake topped with blueberries. They spelled “YES."
