Here are Nina Cavenee Moller's children;

His college consisted of 166 hours, primarily with the University of Maryland military campus. Areas of study were primarily in the fields of literature and economics. After working at several jobs as a youth, he left home at age 15, because of his father's remarriage following his mother's death. He then entered the military service as a Private. Eventually, he made a career of the service, attending Artillery Officers Candidate School in 1952, graduating as a 2nd Lt. He returned from active services in 1970 as a Major.

In Nov, 1975, he was appointed District Manager in Sioux Falls with the Equitable company and is serving in this capacity. He married Bernice Lilly Polasek, Nov. 16, 1950, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. They have 5 children. Bernice moved to Oklahoma in 1976, and they were divorced in 1977. He married Lillian Ratzlaff Anderson on Ju8ne 9, 1977."

His children are Sharon Kay, "born February 20, 1952 at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma.

Following her completion of this school, she served as a reporter for the Army newspaper at Ft. Polk, Louisiana. While stationed there, she met her husband, Wesley, "Wes" Bateman who was originally from upper New York. They were married in January, 1976 and moved to Houston, Texas following their release from the service. They are both employed."

They were married September 3, 1976. Roxanne is a student of Civil Engineering and both will graduate in the spring of 1978."

Jeffrey Scott "born August 9, 1962, in Moorhead, Minnesota. He lives with his mother in Yukon, Oklahoma, where he attends public school."

There must be a story about Emil's stepmother. I'm hoping to find out some addresses and photos concerning this family. Emil's history sounds so interesting. It would make good reading.
