There Irene taught third and fourth grade at the Mount Vernon Elementary School. Their next move was to Columbia Union College. In addition to his teaching, Herb completed his master's degree in English at the University of Maryland. When their daughter, Dorene, started school, Irene went to work at the registrar's office at Columbia Union College. In 1969, they transferred to Southwestern Union College.
