What happens
Sicily and Chris are a young couple whose romance begins in 1942, when Sicily, a college student, leaves school to be with Chris, a newspaper reporter.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
