Oral History, Paul Lorenz - Marjorie McCown: "How they met and about the honeymoon".



- Per interview with Paul Lorenz on 11/13/2006

How They Met:  "My buddy Harry Slliman lived across the street from Marjorie's half-sister Lorraine and husband Oliver Kensinger (6100 block of Rosland St., south of Broadripple; Indianapolis). Sometime during Marjorie's senior year of high school she traveled to Indianapolis to babysit the Kensingers two daughters while they went on a trip (?). After they returned Marjorie returned to Clinton, MO to finish school. After graduating high school Marjorie moved in with the Kensingers. Harry dated Marjorie for a time and then I began dating her. We dated for a couple years before we married"

The Honeymoon: "I was working at what was then called Bell Telephone as a cable splicer, which required travel within Indiana. We were married at Trinity Church in Indianapolis. The "honeymoon" was at a hotel in Kokomo, Indiana where I was living while traveling to surrounding cities to splice cables for Bell. We spent a couple weekends at Lake Schaffer sailing a rowboat the boyscouts had modified into a sailboat."
