J.L. went into the military upon graduation from high school.
He and Faye married while he was still in the service. He was a cook
in the officer's mess and to this day he makes the best "over easy"
eggs out there.
In 1948 they returned to Silverton and began farming with J.L. playing baseball in the Irrigation League. In 1951 they built a home on their first farm. After all of their kids had grown and left home, Faye went back to school and became a nurse. J.L. continues to dabble in agriculture and Faye works on her genealogy files. They are active members of the Silverton Church of Christ and avid fans of Silverton Owls sports.
