He and Joye were High School sweethearts. Then World War II erupted and Dan enlisted in the US Army. For three years he was a prisoner of war in Germany. There was no word from him during two of the three years. Joye was enrolled at the University of Mississippi at Oxford during this period and she never gave up hope. She was convinced that he was alive and would return home. Shortly after being notified that Dan was a prisoner, he was released and returned to the States where he and Joye became married in McAllen, Texas. They returned to Tupelo and established their home. After being married for 30 years, they were divorced. Joye returned to the University of Mississippi where she earned her Doctorate in Education. Currently she is a teacher of Special Education in the New Orleans City School system. Jeffery and Susan live in Buffalo, New York and they are the proud parents of 5 year old Amanda Shea. Charles Frederick and Jan live in Metuchen, New Jersey with her son Benjamin from an earlier marriage.
