• First Family with Marie deGroh (first wife)

  I met Marie in College at DePaul University on the ROTC/Varsity Rifle Range where we were both on the varsity team (I was also on the ROTC Team). We married shortly after I had received orders to report to Germany (for three years). This was during Marie's Christmas break from school and my vacation from Airborne School in the Army at Ft. Benning. Marie graduated in January (in 3 1/2 years) and we moved to Germany the next March. After 33 months in Germany, Marie was diagnosed with Leukemia and we transferred back to Chicago. Marie died about 7 months later on July 17, 1966.

  • Ed, Jr was born in Heidelberg, Germany in the Army Hospital in June of 1964. He attended the University of Illinois in Urbana and received a B.S. in Aeronautical and Astronomical Engineering (with honors) and later a MS from USC in Aerospace Engineering and is an Aerospace Research Engineer for NASA at the Dryden Flight Research Center. Visit his Home Page for more details of his experiences and accomplishments at NASA.

    This is a stereoscopic picture. It was taken on 120 slide film. The slides were digitized using a camcorder viewing the slides on a light table, and the camcorder was piped into a PowerPC computer with an AV card. These images were then converted to 256 color GIF files.

    The stereoscopic pair have the left image on your right, and the right image on your left. Make sure your browser has the pairs side by side. You may need to widen your browser window first. To view, cross your eyes so that you see three of the images, then focus in on the center of the three images. It should come out in three dimensions!

• Second Family with Susan Francies (second wife)

  
  I met Sue on a bicycle trip that went half way around Lake Michigan. This trip was about 100 miles per day and she had no experience on such extended trips. We married 2 years later and had two children, Rick and Laura. We were divorced after 10 years.
  

  • Richard (Rick) was born about nine months after we were married and that ended our extended bicycle riding. Rick is now attending the University of Illinois at Urbana, majoring in Landscape architecture. Visit his Home Page to to see his interests.
