May 1942. Ames, Iowa. "Sophomore Doris Clausen of Boone, Iowa, in a physiology class at Iowa State College." Medium format acetate negative by Jack Delano. View full size.
In 1944 (soon after her graduation) Doris Clausen married a fellow Boone County native, Wylie "Moon" Mullen, who would later graduate from the State University of Iowa (now U of I) College of Medicine. In addition to raising four children, Doris and Wylie bought an airport near Joliet, learned to fly small aircraft, and each received commercial, private and helicopter licenses. She died in 1966 (at age 43) near Hammond, Indiana, while working as a pilot. She was taking "Champagne Tony" Lema, a professional golfer and the winner of the 1964 British Open, his wife, and her co-pilot, from the Firestone tournament in Akron to the Lincolnshire Open. Ironically, the plane crash-landed on a golf course; witnesses said an engine cut out in midair. Her husband lived another 40 years as a doctor, then philanthropist, until his death in 2006.

I always hated it when the teacher stood over me while I was trying to study.
