Where Are We From?

Mary was born and raised for a while in Beatrice, Nebraska. Her family moved to Riverside, California, where she went to high school. She soon graduated from San Diego State University with a major in Business Administration, and joined the U.S. Air Force.

Tom was born in Casper, Wyoming. After two years in Casper and two more years in Yuma, Arizona, he arrived (with his family, of course!) in Lomita, California, at the age of 4. After high school he spent a semester at L.A. Harbor Junior College. He then moved with his family to Munster, Indiana, spent a year at Purdue U. (Calumet campus) and a year later joined the U.S. Air Force.
