| 14198 | Niagara Gazette - 10/16/1965 TONAWANDA-"Just try it," Capt. Joseph J. Musgrave urged his wife. 10 years ago when camping was first a topic of discussion. She did, and now Mrs. Doris Musgrave is a confirmed outdoor enthusiast.' "I've been to so many places I never would have seen," she said, listing trips to Cape Cod, Maine, Vermont, Canada and Washington, D.C. From a primitive start with a large tent, the family has progressed to a travel trailer which sleeps four. They journeyed to the nation's capital one Easter, leaving the trailer at College Park, Md., and joining the scores of Girl Scouts and school bands on their yearly excursions. °I'd like to go back, but not at Easter," Mrs. Musgrave said. * * » VACATIONS during summer holidays are rarities for the Musgrave family. That's when Capt. Musgrave, who heads the Niagara Frontier State Park Police, is the busiest. When the children were small, they had a hard time understanding why their father could never take them places on Sundays, she explained. He always had to work. The girls are Barbara, 19, a secretary with Prudential Insurance Co. of America, Town of Tonawanda, and Beverly, 13, in the eighth grade at Tonawanda Junior High School. * * * CAMPING is usually a family affair. This year, however, Barbara was working and unable to join them for a trip to the World's Fair. A trailer park at North Bergen, N.J. provided a handy stop-over for the sight-seers. "We would love to go out West or South, but those are things we just talk about," Mrs. Musgrave said. She enjoys the out-ofdoors and is happy putter- ing in her flower and vegetable garden, raking leaves or shoveling snow in the winter. TONAWANDA has not always been home to her. Born on Grand Island, the former Doris Yensan grew up in the area which is now Beaver Island State Park. Her father worked for the state and it was through him that she met Joseph Musgrave, then a park patrolman. With World War II intervening, it was five years before the couple married. Prior to the wedding in 1943, Mrs. Musgrave. a graduate of Riverside High School, Buffalo, worked as a te-lephone operator for two years and in the office of the traffic manager of Remington Rand Co. for seven years. When Capt. Musgrave returned from service overseas, the newLyweds moved to Ft. Jay, near New York City, where he was stationed. The young bride was em/ployed doing office work in a mortgage information service. A year and a haM later, they returned to Grand Island, to reside in the former Yensan home, which had become state property. They occupied only the first floor of the two-story structure. "It was hard getting furniture for just that floor,'' she recalled. » * ° FINDING THEMSELVES too isolated on the island and with most of Mrs. Musgrave's family moving to this corrvrminity, the couple followed suit, buying their first house in Broad Street. They moved to their present home, 35 Koch St., 13 years ago. When her children were born, Mrs. Musgrave gave up her job and turned her attention to domestic matters. She learned to sew while she was in New York and has since enrolled in two advanced sewing classes in adult education. She prefers to work on "basics," such as skirts which are not so dependent on everchanging styles. * * * NOW, with the years of PTA and scout work behind, ?he is looking for other means to occupy her time. She has considered a part-time job or volunteer work. "My husband isn't too much in favor of it. He thinks 1 have enough to do," she said. She found her typing ability of some assistance for a while when her husband needed help with police reports. An expanded staff has eliminated that function for her, though. She did aid in typing his speech of acceptance when he was named "Man of the Year" by the Niagara Falls Chapter, Disabled American Veterans, in May. "Wh e n he g a v e the speech, I could almost repeat it word for word," she said. AT HOME, her constant companion is "Pretty Baby." the third in the line of family parakeets. He perches on her shoulder while she performs household chores, chatters in his cage, or plays contentedly on the floor with a collection of small toys. Mrs. Musgrave, one of six children, is at no loss for family ties. Five^_ of her brothers and sisters reside in Tonawanda. The annual family Christmas gathering grew, to such proportions that they found it necessary to rent a hall to accommodate the grouip, she said. Birthdays and picnics bring the family together, too. | YENSAN, Doris E (I101112)
