They were married October 12, 1957 at St. Peter Catholic Church and soon afterwards decided to make their hopes and dreams of living in California real. In 1960, they settled in Cupertino, California moving into their brand new home for life. Margaret Ann began a long career with 45 years of service at Lockheed Martin Corporation a leading global aerospace and defense company.
