During this time Arthur and Ella traveled from one end of the United States to the other end and traveled throughout Europe as well. He was a very dedicated husband who had an unusual sense of humor. He readily shared whatever God gave him. Arthur graduated from Webster University on May 14, 1988 with a Masters of Arts Degree.
