The couple were married Dec. 16, 2013, in Columbus, Ohio, by a justice. They met at Ohio University, Athens, Ohio, in 1953 when Bob started going to O.U. on the G.I. bill. Grace Pugh worked in the veterans’ office on campus. Their two daughters, Linda Maher and Vicki Casarrubias, were born in Athens.
After graduating from O.U., he worked for Argus Cameras in Ann Arbor, Mich., then taught photography at Arizona State University, Tempe, Ariz. He also worked for GAF/Ansco in midtown Manhattan in the Rockefeller Center area while lecturing on photography all over the USA.
The family next moved to Arlington Heights, Ill, when Bob worked for Bell & Howell; then came a one-year stint teaching photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), Rochester, N.Y., but just Grace and Bob were there as the girls were now living on their own. He next was assistant director of the Winona School of Professional Photography which brought them to Warsaw just over 34 years ago. Grace worked for many years babysitting for people in the Warsaw area, the Presbyterian Church and for the Warsaw YMCA for 15 years.
Bob did commercial/industrial photography across northern Indiana and has written for most of the major photographic magazines and other types of publications in the USA and abroad during this time. He is currently senior editor of “Shutterbug” magazine though the monthly question and answer “Help” column he wrote for more than 20 years no longer appears in the publication.
They both are retired now. The couple have eight grandchildren, all in the 20s and 30s, and four great-grandchildren. Both are avid bridge players and like to travel to see the grandchildren. They have taken six cruises to the Caribbean and Alaska.
