In addition, Bob and Lucile owned and operated the Parkway Market in Marne for 41 years, until its closing in 2000. Bob and Lucile enjoyed entertaining and travel, and together with Lucile’s sister and brother-in-law, Viola and Gil Paulsen, were regular summer visitors at the New Inn in Okoboji, Iowa. They built an outdoor picnic shelter at their home and often hosted summer picnics for friends and relatives, serving salmon that Viola and Gil brought from their home state of Washington. Bob and Lucile traveled to Europe in 1974. Bob was a 50-year member of Masonic Grove Lodge #492 A.F. and A.M., a member of the Marne Methodist Church, and active in the Democratic Party at the county and state levels.
