Ross and Nancy Lemons grew
up in Los Alamos, started dating senior year in high school and
married after getting their degrees in physics and mathematics

California for Ross to earn a PhD at Stanford and Nancy to work

Beach in the Piston River State Park, Oregon.
Over the next 25 years, Ross
worked in a series of management positions at LANL and Nancy
took on even more volunteer positions. In 2006, Ross retired,
and Nancy reduced her commitments so they could travel more and
undertake new adventures, such as biking the Oregon and northern
California coasts.
