TI: And you, because you came to this area, St. Paul area. What drew you to St. Paul?

JU: Well, two things. Maye's folks, because Maye's folks came to live with us when they retired. They probably were the reason we moved to Salt Lake City to take this position in the Philosophy and Religion department. And when we came here, Maye's folks had turned into their seventies. To there, I mean Salt Lake. When we went there, Westminster College, which is a Presbyterian-Methodist related school. And they asked us, could they come and live with us. Her brother had settled in Chicago, and really close. They lived in Yellow Springs, Ohio, because that's where President Arthur... what was his name? The president of Antioch college invited Maye's family to move there out of Amache. And his name was Arthur Morgan. And he even offered his summer house for them to live in, and offered them to have a job in the janitorial work. They could both work, husband and wife. And so they moved to Yellow Springs, and Maye then got a scholarship -- she could go either place, either Antioch College or to Ohio Wesleyan. And so she took the Ohio Wesleyan because there was a job at the Methodist Church Conference. And so she took that job as a secretary to the Conference Education Office. And then she'd have her folks settled in at Antioch. And so it's about fifty miles apart, so a close commute. And then, of course, she went to Wesleyan and I went too, and we met at the Y conference in University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana at the Lincoln College Building at breakfast, the only time I made breakfast. [Laughs]

TI: Good. And so that got you to this area, and then you had a career in the Philosophy department at Hamline?

JU: And at Morningside in Iowa, too.
