Married on September 16, 1942, Bill and Virginia celebrated their 60th anniversary in 2002. Three years later, a week shy of their 63rd anniversary, Bill (my dad) passed on. They had a full life with many moves throughout the years. Among the places they lived are Witchita, Kansas and Seattle, Renton, Fall City, Kirkland, and Spokane in Washington, Rocky Boy Indian Reservation and Havre in Montana, Riggins and Kamiah in Idaho, and Banning, California. They also had a six month stint in the Philippines as part of their YWAM ministry years.
They met at when Bill was stationed at Geiger Field in Spokane, Washington at the start of WWII. Virginia was engaged at the time to someone looking a lot like James Garner, she says, but when she met Bill, well, you know what happened!
