Dad met Frank Bingham in Institute. They enjoyed talking about Hawaii where Dad had served a mission and Frank had been in while in the service. They became
good friends and roommates and were in the Alpha chapter of the Sigma Gamma
Chi, the LDS fraternity. One night they had a party with a Hawaiian theme, but
it was just for men. After the party Frank said he wanted to stop and see his fiancée
Elaine Kirkman . In a apartment where the girls lived, Cory struck up a conversation with one of the roommates named Joyce Parrish,
who had lived out in Trout Creek near Callao, where Dad had spent many summers
on the ranch. But while he was there, another young lady caught his
eye. "She was acting kind of shy", Dad said. At that moment an impression came to
his mind, “that’s the girl you should marry”. He later found out her name was
Gloria Randall. He had heard about Gloria Randall but thought she lived in
another one of the halls on campus. Dad decided he just had to get a date with
Gloria. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple on June 7, 1957 just one week after Mom graduated from Utah State University.
