Vincent's father had been in World War I. His father had bouts of amnesia that were thought to be caused by being gased during the war. He headed by train to Califoria to find treatment for this where his mother (Axie) was living. She was to pick him up at the train. He never showed up !! This is a real mystery. Clara his wife never saw him again. By the 1920 census they were living in Ohio where Vincent was a Real Estate person. They moved back to Minneapolis Mn. to be by Clara's family and maybe other members of the Thing family. His father was dead and Axie was in California. Clara raised Vince by herself by working in her fathers grocery store (that now was her brother Josephs after his fathers death). Vincent went to College in Minnesota and got a job at Boeing Airplane Company. This was War time so they needed all the workers they could get. He meet Margie at a dance where he was an instructor in Minneapolis. She came out to Seattle to marry him. Margie's family followed her to the west coast. All her sibling's and parents. Clara came out to Seattle to be near Vince, Margie and grandson Michael. Both Vince and Margie worked hard so in time they could travel all over the world. Although Vince was not feeling up to par Vince and Margie took a trip to China. He became very ill in China and they came home to figure out what was wrong. Finally he was diagnosed with bone cancer.

1973, July 24 - Vince was 55 years young when he died.

Margie was left with lots of life and a need to work. She started her own company and worked very hard. She continued to be a wonderful loving grandmother to three children. Vincent J. Thyng II, Marc-Allen & Kristen. About 1989 she meets a wonderful man, Warren White.

They marry in 1990 ? Both are still going strong having lots of adventures.
