Her name, Christal Albrecht, has a rhythm when you say it, like the rhythm when she walks. Her last name, Albrecht, means noble. How true! She is a 27-year-old blonde, about five foot six when stretching. And with a sculpted figure where every inch has a beautiful purpose. Wade Collins, a 30-year-old Army Infantry Captain met her in May of 1953 while both were working in the small American Tourist and Information building in Berchtesgaden, Germany. It was love at second sight. That is to say, the second time Wade took Christal out it came over both of them like an uncontrollable tide. It was on Tuesday, May 8, 1953, exactly eight years to the day after the end of World War II in Europe. On that momentous evening they dined in the Skyline Room of the General Walker Hotel on the Ober Salzburg, high above the little village of Berchtesgaden.
