They were married in Easton on December 27, 1947.  She and Bud lived in Indiana, Bud’s home state; and he began a teaching career there.  In the mid 1950’s, they moved to Hollywood, Florida where Bud taught school until he retired; and for a time. Nadine worked in a dental office.  They loved traveling and had visited many countries.  They would also yearly spend spring through fall in Easton visiting with family, friends, fishing, and enjoying the sunsets on the Tred Avon River.  The Tred Avon was Nadine’s 2nd love.  Nadine had volunteered with Habitat for Humanity.  She enjoyed being with friends at the YMCA, and she loved being outdoors working in the garden.  Until illness set in, she attended the First Baptist Church of Hollywood.
