Martha lived the life of an Army wife and mother travelling to many foreign posts such as Stuttgart, Germany and Paris and Orleans, France. She enjoyed the travel, the new languages, and staying in touch with her many family members back home. She was always busy. She liked bowling, golf and bridge. She was good at all of it. A Kentucky girl, she hosted many Kentucky Derby parties and picked the winners by the jockeys. One learned never to bet against her. She was a lucky lady. One thing she taught the family was to enjoy each other and to honor and remember their heritage. She was known as the family genealogist and the keeper of the records.
