Parents moved to San Antonio, Texas, then to Beaumont in the '20s, where they remained the rest of their lives. Ruth joined the Army after her divorce from Elmer Ray and went to Japan during WWII. She remained in the Army for a while, was still enlisted in the 1950s and still in Japan. Her mother took care of her young girls. It was in the Army that she met and married Van. Danny was an abandoned baby, possibly Korean, that Van had "found" in a field, and they adopted him.
