Glenn and Audrey, nee Skjeret, Ouren began their married life in 1946, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where Glenn was employed by Northwest Airlines, the son of Oscar and Edna Ouren and the daughter of Alfred and Helen Skjeret. They both attended Hannaford schools. Glenn studied aviation at Wahpeton State School of Science and graduated in 1940. He served in the Air Force in World War II.
After Minneapolis, the couple moved to Fargo, North Dakota, where their two children were born. Glenn Allan in 1947, and Candace Mauree in 1951.
Glenn's love of airplanes has taken the family across the states. He was employed by Boeing Airplane Co., for many years where he worked in experimental and engineering. In Huntsville, Alabama, he worked on the Saturn I and IV vehicles which put a man on the moon. Later he was employed by Wyle Laboratories where he managed the Solar Energy Laboratory. He retired in 1985, but continues as a consultant for Wyle Laboratories.
Wherever they have lived, the family has been active in church, community and cultural affairs. When the children grew up and left home, Audrey enrolled in college and received her B. A. degree from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Since college she has been employed in management positions including being manager of a retirement complex in Huntsville.
Glenn and Audrey's modern pioneering spirit has served them well in adapting to new cultures and people. They have passed this spirit on to their children. In many places where they have come, they have watched small communities turn into Metropolitan Cities. With the strong determination, support and hard work of families like themselves they have seen non-existent colleges, civic centers, hospitals, schools, and churches come into being and become viable parts of the community.
Glenn and Audrey continue to live in Huntsville, Alabama. Glenn Allan graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi and served in the Vietnam War. He and his son, John, live in Huntsville. Candace graduated from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida, and taught at Barry University in Miami. Candace and her husband, Steven Pike, are missionaries to Cameroon, West Africa where Steven is administrator of the Lutheran Hospital there. Candace teaches high school, ballet and piano. They have two girls, Christine, six years old; and Valan, one year old.
