Later earned a PhD at University of Chicago (The North Atlantic fisheries in United States-Canadian relations : a history of the fisheries problems, their settlements and attempted settlements, with special emphasis on the period since the establishment of the dominion of Canada. http://lens.lib.uchicago.edu/?itemid=|library/marc/uc|4240341 ) and taught one year at the University of Kansas City when Barbara was in kindergarten. Moved back to TX where he worked for a publishing house in Ft. Worth. Meanwhile B lived in Wauxahatchee with her grandmother. They moved to AL when B was going to be in 2nd grade, but after testing they put her in 3rd (skipped 2nd). Stayed in Jacksonville, AL until his death. New president at Kansas City brought new staff and most recently hired (Cayley among them) were replaced. No tenure system at the time. Cayley later traveled and made public talks in support of establishing the tenure system.
Cayley met Gough when she went to spend summer vacation with friends in Chicago while B stayed w/ grandparents. She was a schoolteacher.
