Thank you very much for your thorough help. 1955 would be correct as I have a photo of her pregnant with first child that dates the marraige - remember hearing the pregnancy brought about the marriage. Richard spent his life until marriage in Lawrence and he and Margo moved to Los Angeles shortly afterward. He may have gone off to a school for musicians - I know he was good friends with a famous jazz musician, Charles Kynard, from a school unknown. Also had a lot of relatives in Topeka so Shawnee Co. would be a possibility. They were not married in California although first child was born in Los Angeles in 1956. I do have Margo's last name solid as Baker now. Again thank you so much for your help.
