The family moved to small farm outside of Yellow Springs and Wallace graduated from Bryan High School in June of 1946. Immediately after graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy, serving at Bethesda Navel Hospital 1946 to 1948.

With his creative talent he carved a wide array woods into beautiful art pieces. He used this same talent when he crafted the annual Halloween Witch, that graced his front yard in Gillett.
After retirement, Wallace and Edith returned to the area, which they called home, and resided in Abrams, Wisconsin. Here they renewed old friendships and celebrated the anniversary of 51 years of marriage.
