The following is information that was supplied by Bernice for the 50th reunion held in 1985:

Imarried Wayne Collier of Paola, KS in 1939, and in 1941 we moved to Laguna Beach, CA where I am still living. We have two daughters, Linda and Terri, who live in Califonria also. Wayne died in 1958. I retired from Great American Federal in November, 1983, and love retirement. I do have a part-time job, 15 hours a week, as Administrative Assistant to the Execuaive Director of Newport Center Association in Newport Beach. It is a fun job - no pressure - and I love it. I spend a lot of time on the beach. I love to "people watch" and "whale watch" or just sit and have a cup of coffee. This summer, a friend and I are going to Europe for about three weeks and I am looking forward to that."
