Rather than try and finish college on the limited budget that the Limes of the depression allowed they decided to get married. So on Dec. 20, 1934. they married in the Salt Lake LDS Temple and the next spring went to Idaho where Herb tried his hand" at farming. By the fall of 1935 they were in Tonapah, Nev. taking care of some houses and working in the mines. While trying to light a stove, Clara caught her dress on fire and was taken to the hospital. She gave birth to their first child while she was recovering from her burns. About this time, Herbert started selling Aluminum Waterless cookware on the party plan and since it involved much moving around they went to Salmon, Idaho in the winter of 1939. They built a trailer, and because the snow was so deep they just packed it up around the trailer for insulation. From here they returned to the Salt Lake valley in 1941. When the news came that Pearl Harbor had been attacked, Herb put his skills to work building for the small arms plants and others in the area.. He didnt go to war because by then they had four little boys in their home. Herb was giving lots of rides to workers in Clearfield Naval supply depot but the highway patrol told him he had to have a permit to sell rides, so he went and got a PSCU permit and started the Parry bus.

He is also an inventive welder and machinist, having built many useful and unique things, such as swing sets, slides, golf carts, snowmobile trailers, and some carnival rides.
