Marriage and Children
After his release from the Army Busemeyer found work with Sears and Roebuck Company selling vacuum cleaners in the store, and demonstrating them to interested customers in their own homes. It was hard work, he said, "... but it was damn good training." At a dance held at Xavier University, Busemeyer met and danced with Marjorie Voss, a girl from his neighborhood. The two were married on June 26, 1948. Their first child was a girl, Terri. Their second child, also a girl, was born on September 15, 1950.

Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or children:
“We have seen that men are learning that work, productivity, and marriage may be very important parts of life, but they are not its whole cloth. The rest of the fabric is made of nurturing relationships, especially those with children—relationships which are intimate, trusting, humane, complex, and full of care.”
—Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
“A society in which adults are estranged from the world of children, and often from their own childhood, tends to hear children’s speech only as a foreign language, or as a lie.... Children have been treated ... as congenital fibbers, fakers and fantasisers.”
—Beatrix Campbell (b. 1947)
