Susan Freeman Their second child was Susan. This pair of pictures shows how it can be challenging to photograph young children. Paul is wearing a Northeast Airlines jacket.

Susan Freeman Just three weeks later, the Freemans moved back to New England. At this time, Paul was working for Northeast Airlines.

Susan Freeman While working for Northeast, Paul and family lived in Hudson, NH, Nantucket Island, MA, and Danvers, MA. He still found time to spend with his children. Eating popcorn in front of the tv was a long running ritual.

Susan Freeman Here they are playing with boxes in the front yard of the Danvers house.

Susan Freeman Delta bought Northeast Airlines. Delta sent Paul to Atlanta in 1972.

Susan Freeman Moving to Georgia made it easier to visit Geneva's relatives. Here are Steve and Susan on their cousins' pony.

Susan Freeman The seventies was the decade of big family vacations. Geneva took the stills, Paul carried a film camera. My favorite picture of Paul is him on the bike in Bermuda, with sunglasses.

Susan Freeman In 1996, Paul retired from Delta Airlines after a 37 year career.

Susan Freeman Here are a few shots from his retirement party. Looks like fun!

Susan Freeman While living in Atlanta, Paul spent a lot of time working on the house and yard. He remodeled the basement and built up the backyard with a deck, a fort, a doghouse, and later, put up a "man" cave.

Susan Freeman Paul and Geneva made a trip to New Hampshire to visit with the Tippings and the Kruegers, the families of Ethel and Elsa. One picture is the extended family; the other is Paul with his nephews, the Krueger boys.

Susan Freeman With their children out of the house, Paul and Geneva decided to move to Tennessee. The house had a big yard and Paul enjoyed himself landscaping and putting in a garden.

Susan Freeman Gracie adopted Paul and Geneva in 2003.

Susan Freeman Eventually, they moved back to Georgia and bought a house in Newnan.

Susan Freeman They moved to Newnan at least partly because Paul missed playing golf. Paul served as a marshal at the Lake Spivey golf club.
