Mom, as everyone called her, lived in Dallas until 1977 when she moved with Bob to Lincoln City, together they built a beautiful home on the bay in Taft, Oregon where they lived for the next 20+ years. The house was a stop-over for just about anyone you could imagine. You could count on many, many friends just showing up. You never knew who was going to be there having fun. No one will ever forget the 4th. Of July party’s on the beach with the pig roast that would last 2-3 days.
