On Aug. 17, 1947, they were married at the Presbyterian church in Woodland. They honeymooned in British Columbia and then returned to WSU where John received a Bachelor of Science in civil engineering in 1948. He taught at WSU, and their children were active in Camp Fire and Boy Scouts. In 1963, they moved to Thailand when John accepted a teaching position with the SEATO Graduate School of Engineering. Eventually, he resumed his teaching career at WSU and authored two textbooks: “Engineering Fluid Mechanics,” with Clayton Crowe and “Hydraulic Engineering.” Both books are still in print and used in universities here and abroad.) https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2017/aug/16/love-stories-couple-still-make-each-other-laugh-af/
