Chronicling lives brings rich rewards

My father proposed to my mother on an October night in 1951 bearing seemingly heavy news.

He was 20. She was 18. They sat outside my mom’s parents’ Tulsa, Okla., home in the 1939 Chevy Sedan Delivery my dad drove home on a weekend from medical school in Chicago.

“I want you to marry me,” he said. “But before you answer me, you need to know we’ll never have a place to call home.”

That would be true over the next 25 years, though not in the way they imagined.
