R: So after she had been in school for a year, she decided to take advantage of the
 opportunity to make some money, so she worked somewhere in Missouri, and then,
 in the spirit of adventure, she went to Miami [Florida] and worked for the
 government, [for] the military in Miami for a couple of years.

P: During the war.

R: Yes. In the meantime, as all the family was getting older [they considered
 schooling].

P: Too bad you did not run into each other in Coral Gables [Florida]; you were there
 at the same time.

R: Right. I guess the family decided they would move to Columbia where they could
 all go to college and it would not cost so much. They would all live at home. They
 moved to Columbia, and Mary, of course, [went] back in school.

P: What did she major in?

R: She majored in textiles and designs, in the School of Home Economics. It had
 something to do with fashion designing and that kind of thing.

P: Later on she teaches elementary school, so did she have any courses in education?

R: She had to take some [additional] courses when she got around to doing that again.

P: When were you married?

R: We were married on September 2, 1947.

P: And children?

R: Barbara was born in November of 1948.

P: Barbara's full name?

R: Barbara Ann Robertson.

P: And where was she born?

R: She was born in Columbia.

P: Let me stop here and ask you, somewhere along the line I found a Boston
 [Massachusetts] by her name. Is that incorrect?
