In 1988, Nelda reached 50 years of age, became a grandmother, went to Hawaii, and graduated from college. It was a very big year! After about 16 years of taking classes off and on at Indiana Central College and I.U.P.U.I., she finally got her bachelor's degree. How proud Ray and Polly would have been!
In 2004, Nelda and Lloyd downsized and bought a condo in Zionsville, IN. They started spending winters in a warmer climate. They bought a small house in Yuma, AZ, and spent about half a year at each location.
