An interesting side bar- when Chris and Rudy qualified for their mortgage, Chris had to sign a letter that she would continue to work in order to gain loan approval.

She left insurance and began a lengthy career in the employment personnel business Midland Personnel Lincoln, Omaha, and Council Bluffs. Later Rudy and Chris opened Midtown Personnel in Council Bluffs where they worked until their retirement.
