Before Graduation I started working at Muhlheims Jewelry Store, and continued until Sept 6, 1953, when Bob Lamb (my high school sweetheart) and I were married. I have been so lucky to having shared my life with this very special man. It would be a lot easier to write about him, than me. However, since I will probably type his biography, if he does not write enough about himself I'll add my 2 cents.

After we were married, Bob still had a year and half of college at KU in Lawrence, KS. This was a very exciting time for me. I worked a few months at the Phone company, then got a job at the University until Bob graduated. That was my last job, I've been a kept homemaker every since.

We moved to Joplin Missouri where Bob started working for Empire District Electric Co. He had to leave after a few months with Empire for his tour of duty in the Air Force.

We have two children, Nancy Durham and David Lamb, both of Joplin, 5 grandchildren, and 3 great grandchildren.
