That didn’t end there they kept in touch by many phone calls, and trips between Fresno, and Norwalk. Then Larry got a call one day from Susan saying she was moving up to Fresno to be with him, and the rest is history.

Together they raise three children, David, Jason and Mark. Raising three boys kept the busy with school, after school sports, many camping trips to the Sierra Nevada mountains along with family vacations up and down the California and Oregon coasts, and of course all those amusement parks, and in between all of this Susan was able to attend Fresno State College where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology.
