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:
“And what if my descendants lose the flower
Through natural declension of the soul,
Through too much business with the passing hour,
Through too much play, or marriage with a fool?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Our treatment of both older people and children reflects the value we place on independence and autonomy. We do our best to make our children independent from birth. We leave them all alone in rooms with the lights out and tell them, “Go to sleep by yourselves.” And the old people we respect most are the ones who will fight for their independence, who would sooner starve to death than ask for help.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
