Igler and Whitesides' marriage notice in the Courier Journal, Louisville, KY. Here we learn that the couple both attended the University of Cincinnati, and that Whitesides served as Lieutenant at the Fort Hayes Army post in Columbus. The post was granted to the Ohio National Guard for use in 1946, so we can gather that Whitesides began work as an executive around this time.
