We met in 3rd grade 1943. We were both raised as oldest children on dairy farms with no electricity. In 1953, we graduated from Medford high school. Violet graduated as a teacher, and has been in 4-H since 1952. Eugene was in the army.
We married July 1958 in Medford. Together, we raised 3 sons, Bryan, Kirby and Scotty. Each son has one son, so we have 3 grandsons. One of the few couples that both water skied at the same time.
