He went on to graduate from Tahlequah Co-mm. College and moved into the IT Dept. at Phillips. In 1987 he relocated his family to Las Vegas where he retired from Las Vegas Review Journal in 2006. At that time he and his wife returned to Bartlesville and just celebrated 50 years of a loving marriage this summer.
