Their son Richard was born in Karlsruhe in 1965, and their daughter Tricia was born soon after their return to Montclair in 1968.
Their brief tours of other European countries while stationed in Germany ignited her interest in travel and learning and set the stage for later civilian 'engagements' living in France and Singapore, making many enduring friendships along the way. While in France, Nancy taught English and learned French cooking. In Singapore she worked as an educational consultant to the Asian Women's Welfare Association, training teachers and restructuring the organization's school for profoundly disabled students.
