She achieved her RN degree there in 1956 and planned on satisfying her desire to travel. Unfortunately her 48 year old father died suddenly that year and obligations to her mother and young brother prevented travel plans, she remained in nearby Rochester, as head nurse in the emergency room at St. Marys Hospital.

They married in 1958 and upon completion of his training, moved to Corpus Christi, TX. NO MORE COLD WINTERS
