FROST: I was born in Washington D.C. in 1951. Both my parents are from Iowa, Decatur County, Iowa, Davis City and Leon areas. They went to business college in northern Missouri, Chillicothe Business College, now defunct. In 1939, my dad decided he was going to D.C. and seek his fortune. He came out and got a job as a GS-4 clerk- typist for the Census Bureau working on the 1940 census. And then he went back to Iowa, got my mother--they were married just after Pearl Harbor December 1941.
