The day Arlo and I were married, we moved into a little house that Isabel and Raedeen lived in. Isabel was staying in Arlene Barber's house while Arlene and Lyle and their children were gone somewhere.
When Isabel came back we lived with Grandma Vance for a while. we lived in two rooms that belonged to Charles and June Vance. That is where we lived when Dad died. Then Keith sent a wire and said he was released from the navy and was on his way home. one of the aunts or uncles met every bus or train that entered Alamosa until he got home. He was in time to go to Dad's funeral. Those were hard days.
Doris Faye came then to live with us. Arlo and I had been married 4 months. Arlo told Dad that he would take care of Doris Faye and raise her as his own.
Soon after that time we moved to Guymon's ranch where we lived until after Bonnie was born. That is where we lived until Arlo no longer worked for Ed.
We lived with Grandma Vance for a time after that and then we moved to the the Ross' place. Arlo worked for Walt Gylling while we lived there.
From there we moved to the house by Romeo, where Larry was born. He was born at home. LaRue and I decided to have our babies at home and Doctor Davis was willing to come to the house to deliver or babies. I took care of LaRue when Eddie was born and LaRue took care of me when Larry was born. Harold was overseas. He was in the army and was at both Viet Nam and Korean wars. While we lived there Don had rheumatic fever and st vitus dance. Arlo had a serious problem with his back and suffered greatly with it. He was working for Thales Smith when we lived there. Our home was part of his pay so when Arlo was not able to work we had to move. Richard and Roxanne came to visit us while we lived there. Larry and Gerald Lynn were both blessed in Romeo ward.
On the first of the year, Richard and Roxanne took Arlo to Grand Junction to the veterans hospital. He was there for about a month and was transfered to Denver where he had surgery on his back. While he was in the hospital, I moved our family to Manassa, so we could be close to Grandma and Grandpa Dunn, so they could help us while I worked at Manassa School hot lunch.
We moved into Lucille Jackson's house. We lived there for about some time. Arlo went to work for Boyd Pagett at the garage.
We bought the old Mary Christensen house, across the street from Maggie Weston, (Maggie's mother's house).
Our next house was the one on 3rd street. We bought it from Frank Maestas.
