After serving in Korea, Delbert went on to earn his Bachelor's degree in education at the University of Missouri. In 1956, Delbert and Darlene moved to Mountain View, where he dedicated the next 30 plus years teaching in the Mountain View-Birch Tree School District before making the decision to retire.  His time was then spent enjoying the things he loved, traveling, fishing, and, of course, GOLF.  Delbert loved a beautiful sunny afternoon on the golf course.
