After their wedding they moved to Keesler AB, Mississippi where Marjorie obtained a teaching position in Ocean Springs, then when Frank was transferred to Ton Son Nhut AB, RVN, Marjorie returned to Big Bend where she taught until Frank returned.
They then moved to Minot AB ND, where again Marge taught on base. This followed with an assignment to MacDill AB, Tampa, Fla. where Marge taught at Lutz Elementary. After a transfer to Duquesne University, Pittsburgh and a teaching job at Plumb Elementary, Plumb Borough, Pa., Marge and Frank returned to Mississippi and settled in Ocean Springs with Marge again getting a first grade job. After a couple of years they transferred to Wheeler AB, HI. where Marge taught on base again.
Then came her final teaching job when they transferred to the Pentagon and Marge taught Kindergarten at St. Rita’s Catholic School in Alexandria Va. For 22 years

Marjorie guided me through my first teaching assignment in Ocean Springs in 1968. She was an outstanding professional who convinced me to continue in the field of teaching. I followed her advice, going on to teach at many different places, finally retiring as an elementary principal. Through all that, I thought of her often. Her influence lives on in the thousands of lives she, her protégées and students have touched.
