Starting A Family

After I accepted my first position at San Mateo, they sent me back to New Jersey for a six-week training course. And since Carol’s family was from that area, she stayed with her parents while I was at training back East.

While staying with her parents in California, her mother took her to a doctor. They checked out her thyroid and iron and found that she was deficient in both of them. So she was prescribed some medication, and shortly after that, we were expecting our first son.

April 19, 1967, our first son was born, Aaron Larry

Our second son was born March 9, 1970. His name is Brook Thomas.

Then, November 23, 1971, we had twin sons born to us, and we named them Chadley Joseph and Christopher Paul

Then came our first daughter, Angela Churé on November 2, 1974.

Next came Heather Ann on October 3, 1977.

Then 5 years later on October 14, 1982 came the caboose, our Son, Lafe Steven.
