They Got Married Young!

Jennifer

My mother, she was sixteen when she flew to Chicago, Illinois, where my dad picked her up, and they lived in Rockford, Illinois. And then in November 30, they were married, and my dad’s two friends were named as witnesses for them. They lived there for years, and Marlene Kay Bright continued going to high school. They didn’t live there, and they decided to go back to Safford, Arizona. They settled in and rented an apartment on Highway 70. It’s behind the Casa Mañana here in Safford.

Then your dad started to work at the mines in Morenci. After working at Morenci, your dad got a job with your uncle Gary, your aunt Sue’s husband. He worked there and other places, and that was where he was working before he died. He retired at Tri-county Minerals, which was used to be named Morris Sand and Gravel. Why we decided to move back to Safford was because all of our families lived here.

Your dad worked as a truck driver for many years. That’s the whole story. We lived in apartments when we moved back from Illinois. Then later, my mother gave us money for a down payment for our trailer which we parked on my mom’s property there in Solomon.
