RICHARD AND ALICE
Met after Richard told his friend that he was going to "marry that girl" after seeing her the first time running the light switchboard at a dance.

Richard is still heavily involved in overseeing crop production as well as being the main spraying expert operator on the farm. Alice is vital to supplying "pop time" goodies and nourishing farm meals to the family on the farm. Her individually packaged harvest meals always are a highlight of the season.
