About the Book

This is the down-to-earth experiences of Noel and Barbara in a growing love, the joys (and sometimes difficulties) of raising four children, life as a professor's family, and the renewing vigor of having a lake home as a centering place for family and friends. The book is written in simple, direct language to describe the events and experiences of Noel and Barbara through their sixty-two-plus years of marriage and family life. It portrays the wonders in the uplifting life of a couple deeply in love with each other.

Their Journey

While the marriage of Noel and Barbara was a rich experience, it was from the beginning an evolving experience. They were married only a few weeks before Noel went out to Duke University to work on his PhD degree. This was the beginning of many fulfilling experiences from then on.
