Their first child, a boy named Mark David after two of Tom's friends, Mark Engledow and John David Greyson, was born five years after their marriage. By this time Jean and Tom had returned to Bloomington. Tom worked at R & S Boot Shop and Jean earned her professional hairdressers license. After trying for a second child for mnay years, they adopted a little girl, named Sherri Lynne by Mark, and within a few months found that Jean was pregnant. Alicia was born nine months after Sherri.
