     Joseph married Elizabeth Edwards on 14 September 1800.

     Karen Louise Van Dyke, daughter of John William Van Dyke and Dianne Elizabeth Smith, was born on 22 January 1969 at George Air Force Base, Victorville, San Bernardino, California.^1,2

     Rhonda, Traci and Karen lived with their mother, Dianne starting about May 1970, at Rangley Place, Bangor, Penobscot, Maine; John had received military orders to Udorn, Thailand. His tour was remote for one year.¹

     Rhonda, Traci and Karen were living with their parents, John and Dianne, in June 1971, at Nellis Air Force Base, Las Vegas, Nevada; Upon John's return from Thailand, the next assignment was in Las Vegas. To express the excitement is difficult.¹

     Rhonda, Traci and Karen were living with their parents, John and Dianne, in November 1975, at Pease Air Force Base, Portsmouth, Rockingham, New Hampshire; This time, John has an assignment to New England. The weather from Las Vegas was great. However, the first night's stop, Flagstaff, Arizona, became a disaster. Prior to arrival, it snowed 12 inches. The next morning, the temperature was close to ZERO, plus another 12 inches of snow. Our car cooling system was not treated with enough antifreeze. The wakeup and thought of early departure was gone. It was about one o'clock in the afternoon, when the area warmed up and the car thawed were we able to proceed.
We were than on our way without further issue. When we arrived at Pease Air Force Base, we were assigned to temporary billets, refurbished barracks. Our biggest complaint was the heat inside. No control, therefore all the windows had to be left open to maintain a comfortable temperature.¹

     Traci and Karen were living with their parents, John and Dianne, in December 1978, at Offutt Air Force Base, Omaha, Nebraska; Another assignment for John. It was a difficult decision to make. It was two years prior, we moved into our first home located in the woods of Wells, Maine. The sound of wind whistling through the trees was so relaxing.
Well, John had to provide the answer whether he would accept the assignment within seven days. It took seven days to decide!¹

     Traci and Karen were living with their parents, John and Dianne, in November 1981, at Sacramento Air Logistics Center, Sacramento, Sacramento, California; This time, John received orders to McClellan Air Force Base, California.¹

     Karen lived with her parents, John and Dianne in July 1985 at RAF Fairford, Fairford, Oxfordshire, England; Our departure from JFK International airport was uneventful. The flight departed early evening and arrived at London, Heathrow about 5 A. M. Dianne, being a diabetic and needing something to eat, she ordered a 'English' breakfast at the airport. On a plate was one"greasyfried" egg, one English-style sausage, half a tomato, (fried until brown), baked beans, one slice of fried bread (a slice of white bread fried in oil, probably the oil used to cook the bacon). As hungry she was, the look on her face was priceless when the plate was presented!
Next came,'How are we going to get to Fairford? Usually, a sponsor would pick people up at the airport. This didn't happen, we fended for ourselves. Ah, let's take a train. We loaded the baggage and we are traveling, by train, to Swindon. Upon arrival at the Swindon train station, stepping outside with baggage, just in time for Karen to receive 'pigeon poop' on her head and baggage.
We then flagged a taxi for the final leg to Fairford. The taxi cab was small, the amount of baggage allot, the driver used rope to hold the baggage to the outside of the vehicle. A sight to see, for sure.¹
