They were married shortly after in Las Vegas. Ted left for basic training in Colorado and then was stationed in England. He was shot down twice over Germany and was a prisoner of war. During this time, Pat gave birth to their first child Linda, who was 17 months old, when Ted returned. After the war, Ted attended Montana State University, on the GI Bill. Two more children were born during college, Patty and George. After graduation, the family moved to New Holland, Pennsylvania for Ted's first job as an engineer.
