Ralph was born and raised in southern
New Jersey, near where we now live. Verna hails
from Northwestern Pennsylvania. Here are some
childhood photos of Verna's, followed by a few of
Ralph's. Actually, we are still not grown up, but just
old! To learn more about our siblings and children, click

Both of us graduated from Bob Jones
University. We met in the Art Gallery where we both
worked. Verna watched over visitors and answered their
questions while Ralph made picture frames and did
restoration work in the gallery workshop.


Ralph sang in several opera choruses,
"Messiah," "Creation" and also
painted backdrops for theatrical productions
