MH: And then my husband decided at the same time when I was working at the Bellevue School District. He thought gosh, that's a great job instead of working at Boeing and traveling so far, so he decided to work for the school district, too. So he applied for the Bellevue School District and the Bellevue School District said, "Yes, we need a truck driver to haul all the food your wife is packing out there." And so he became our delivery boy for all our food to all the schools. We had two drivers doing that, he was one of drivers that did that. And then he picked up the mail in the afternoon. That was his route in the afternoon school district in the mail route. So he had that position and he drove the buses to ski lodges on holidays when the Christmas time, when they all go skiing. He was a bus driver and so he did that until the death in 1965 when he passed away. And at the same, when our family all moved and split up, my mother and father and my two brothers moved into Seattle, and they bought a house in Seattle and so that's where they lived when the boys went out to work. And my dad and mother retired there and they passed away there is what they did in 1966. And so, that's the life of our transition there. [Laughs]

JA: Okay.
