in 1975, they moved back
to Hermiston, bought a
ranch on the Umatilla River
and built their dream house.
Although they had lived all
over the U.S., as well as
Europe and Hawaii, they
chose to retire in Hermiston
because of all the friendly
people they had met while
stationed here.
They were married in
Santa Ana, Calif., on May
20, 1945. They met in kin-
dergarten and started dating
when they were 14 and 15.
They were married at 18
and 19. Hal served in the
Merchant Marines during
World War II, delivering
fuel to various ports all
over the world. After the
war, he attended Oklahoma
A&M in Stillwater, Okla.
Upon graduation, he was
commissioned as a 2nd
lieutenant and served 22
years, including two tours
in Viet Nam.
