Continued from "Our Family" - During a period of 9 years Elaine provided a home for 26 foster children. She also worked making war parts in a laboratory. She retired from her last job; as an inspector of small electronic parts, after 18 years. Frank and Elaine were expert dancers and often entertained the family with skilled dance routines. They enjoyed boating and cruising, taking 5 cruises together. They also traveled to California frequently to visit their son Frankie, his wife Becky and grandchildren, Lauren and Marshall. After losing her beloved Frank, Elaine moved to Maryland to live with Gert and Herb. She spent 14 years there and did volunteer work for seniors and made new friends. Following a serious fall, she and Frankie decided it was time for them to be together. Elaine relocated to Rancho Santa Margarita, California, living on her own for 10 years, near Frankie and Becky. In 2021, she moved in with Frank and Becky in Lake Forest, California and is enjoying her time with her son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren. Elaine has one son Frank (Becky), two grandchildren; Lauren (Jason) and Marshall, and two great grandchildren; Amelia and Clara.
