On the advice of his Doctor my father moved to Seattle, Washington. At age nine my mother took me to Seattle where my parents tried to mend their marriage. When I was thirteen my mother re-married; my father kept me. A neighboring family with a girl my age kept it from being a bleak life for me. There had been no contact with either the Staffords or the Hazelwoods. I was thirty before I met anyone from either family. It was the depression and father barely eked out a living working for the Seattle Post Intelligencer. I was a somewhat indifferent student, shining in classes I liked and barely passing ones I didn't. Sewing and music were my favorites. In reality I learned more from my father than from school. Keeping house taught me home-making skills and self-reliance. I had taken typing and expected to work for Greybar Electric, when I met Boris. He was a charming, handsome, romantic young man from a Russian Military family. They had been forced to flee during the Revolution and lived eight years in Harbin, China. Boris had two years at the University of Washington then became apprenticed to a Swiss Watchmaker. We knew each other three weeks when he went to California, found a job and asked me to marry him. I did this February 1936, shocking my father and friends. Boris was earning $25.00 a week and we had a suitcase apiece. The early years were shadowed by the death of our first son, Richard LeRoy, aged four months. Later brightened by our first daughter, Nina Irene. Boris worked in defense during WWII. Our second son Stephen Boris was born and we managed to get together enough money to open our own Jewelery store. It supported us for twenty-one years until cataracts prevented Boris doing very fine watch and jewelry work. 1947 was a banner year. Our second daughter Linda Louise was born and my Aunt Millie came from Ohio to visit us. (Mildred Stafford Boyer) My father died in 1942, and Aunt Millie and I had corresponded since then. Her visit meant more than I can express and she encouraged us to come to Ohio and meet the Stafford family. The years of raising the children and helping Boris in the store were not easy. We tried to expose them to worthwhile things and to educate them. Stephen became an attorney and died as the result of an auto accident at forty-one. He left a son, Matthew Stephen, who graduated from Loyola University last year. Nina holds a Master's in Business Administration and one in Telecommunications. She is Manager of Lockheed's Telecommunications's Department and recently installed the communications system for Lockheed's Moscow office. Linda is working on her Master's in Speech Pathology. She has two daughters, Hilary and Dimitria. I grew up in an era when women expected to be wives and mothers. That's what I am. My life has been one of happiness and sorrow. Boris and I will have been married fifty-six years in February. He has survived the loss of a kidney as well as a major heart attack. He has painted for pleasure for many years and given pleasure as well. He also finds joy (?) in cooking. Although he no longer plays golf or goes fishing, he plans menus, shops and cooks lunches for his friends! Boris does not like to travel but we have had several memorable trips. Across the States by car, with Nina eleven and Stephen nine, to Ohio to visit my Stafford relations. A trip to Russia, enriched by Boris's fluency with the language. We make a yearly trip to Washington, have made four trips through the Canadian Rockies to Jasper, three trips through the South West and criss-crossed California many times. We live in comfort and contentment. Boris paints and cooks. I have time to read, enjoy music, play bridge and with Boris, enjoy our great grand children Rami, five and Ryan, three. We are thankful for each day we have together and to have our family near us."⁷
