Photo of Barbara and Rick Housh

Here we are, December, 2003. We live in Overland Park, Kansas(a Kansas City suburb). Do we look retired? We should - Rick was a lawyer, Barbara was a psychiatric nurse. Now Barbara is a writer, water-colorist, china painter and needle-pointer. Rick is a genealogist, photographer, camera collector, and a computer freak. We're both full-time grandparents, with six beautiful grandkids

Of course, we looked happy here too, didn't we? 1957 fraternity formal, not married yet, just "pinned"

Barbara is Barbara Jane Pearl, daughter of Frank N. Pearl and Ruth (McDonough) Pearl of Mexico, MO
Rick is Tedrick A. Housh, Jr., son of Tedrick A. Housh and Margaret (Leveridge) Housh, of Kansas City, MO.
