They soon wed and started their adventuresome life together, first in Bradenton, Florida and then in Cleveland, Ohio where they raised an active, vibrant family. John received his Master’s degree in education from Case Western Reserve. He was a teacher throughout his life, instilling curiosity, creativity, physical fitness, love of learning and travel in all his children.
