The life in Kansas



A friend of my grand-pa and grand-ma was trying to learn to be a professional photographer so he got them to pose for him for practice. These were taken in a park in Wichita, Kansas about 1973. Grandma was having trouble making grandpa behave.


In June of 1978 grand-pa and grand-ma graduated from college. It took them 10 years going to night school to finish their degrees. Grand-ma got a degree in Sociology and Grand-pa got two degrees, one in Industrial Safety and one in Business. They graduated from Kansas Newman College in Wichita, Kansas. They used their GI Bill to attend school and Grand-ma completed her last year in a Bootstrap program that guaranteed her a commission in the Air Force when she completed her schooling.
