    Notes 


    • She played the piano, sang, and was a member of the Viroqua Blackhawk Marching Band during her high school years where she played the clarinet. After graduation in 1953, she literally came straight off a dairy farm and moved to the big city of Madison with three of her girlfriends and began working for the University of Wisconsin Hospital as a medical transcriber. When they were not working, they chummed around with a group of Airmen from Truax Field where Elaine became reacquainted with Richard "Dick" Coy, who had graduated the previous year and was stationed there as a member of the Air Force. After many months of courtship, they fell in love and were married November 13, 1954 at Immanuel Lutheran Church.
