The woman of the house worked for the Western Pacific Railroad and Union Pacific for over 40 years. When Union Pacific acquired WPRR in the early 1980’s, she was an employee and salvaged many incredible items that were going to be discarded.
The man of the house was in the Air Force Band stationed at Mather, attended the Music Conservatory at UOP and spent his life as a beloved music teacher for Sacramento Unified.
