In 1968 he went to work for Burroughs, (later Unisys). His work took he and Marion to adventures in Springfield and Chicago Illinois, Dallas Texas, Albuquerque, NM, and they developed a love of travel and seeing the country. He and Marion loved camping and traveling in the RV, fishing and western dancing, but his greatest joy was spending time with family and family get togethers with music and singing. In 1991, they moved to Indiana, where he spent time with his aging parents and got back to farm living.
