SP: Now, how did you come to meet your husband, Art?

KA: My husband, Art?

SP: Yes, how did you meet?

KA: Well, I used to work for the Veterans Administration, and I thought, well, I was there for I don't know how many years. But I heard that if you went to Civil Aeronautics department, there's more chance for a promotion, so I transferred over there. And he happened to be one of the employees there. And the agency had a Christmas party at one of the hotels, maybe it was the Olympic Hotel or someplace. And that's how I met him. And when I first met him, he said -- I think he had just bought a car or something -- he said, "I'll take you home." I said, "No, you don't need to, I'll take the bus." But he insisted. [Laughs] And so that's how we met, Civil Aeronautics.

SP: So the two of you married in 1954, and do you have any children together?

KA: Yes, we have four children, Carolyn, Michael, Janet, and Norman. And I have four grandchildren, three girls and one boy. The oldest is fifteen, and his sister is thirteen, and then Carolyn's is fourteen and twelve. So twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen. [Laughs]
