I was married for fifty years to a wonderful man who I met for the first time the day he came home from WWII after spending 4 months in the hospital.  His sister, Wanda, and I were and still are best friends.

Duane and I have four wonderful children and the same amount of in-laws.  We have two sons that married sisters.  Our two daughters are married also and they have all given us eleven beautiful grandchildren.

In April 1999, I lost Duane when his heart gave out after many years of heart disease.  We were in the process of selling our home in Austin so we could move to Paris and be near three of the children.  I did make the move in June 1999.  It has been hard, but being near the children sure helps.

In August 1989, I started doing family research and I have enjoyed it so much.  I volunteer one afternoon a week at the Genealogy Library here in Paris.  I also do research on the computer and have made some wonderful finds over the years.
