Is she or isn't she married to Sam?
Only God or Time or Whoever knows. In the history as Sam remembered
it when he met her as a student in Lawrence College in 1972, Donna was
just turning thirty and leaving the Star Bright Project when they first
met around 1982. The wedding was on the fifth of June at Old Mission
Chapel, and Sam remembers it didn't happen. Al told Sam she didn't
show up for the wedding, and Sam then recalled it had something to do with
her father. He had abandoned her when she was eight and had no more
contact with her. Donna was so upset she blocked out her dad's name,
Wojohowitz. She left another man at the altar before Sam.
Sam arranged for Donna to meet her father at the
Watergate Hotel the morning he shipped out to Vietnam. Al gave no
clue that Sam may have changed history; in fact, he speculated that maybe
she married the first guy after all.
When Sam and Al changed places and he ended up
back at the Project, all of his memories came flooding back and Donna was
there - as his wife. Donna explained to Sam that she
begged Al not to tell him he was married, for she felt he couldn't act
freely with that knowledge. When Sam asked if he did anything
to hurt her, her reply was no. When Sam hat to Leap again in order
to save Al, she begged him not to leave, but realized in the end she had
to let Sam go.
