Shirley loved to travel and visited Germany and Austria as well as many places in
the United States. The couple also enjoyed playing cards together. Robert liked

furniture and his own lattice for his wood fence. He also built a very detailed doll
house. He loved to drive his favorite tractor, the Farmall 330 which is still
