During Don's tour in Vietnam, Nelda received her Master of Arts in library science and served as a children's librarian, reference librarian, film librarian, branch library manager and library director. She retired after serving as branch manager of John Porter Library, CRRL, for 15 years. Don retired as director of memorial programs for the National Cemetery Administration of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
