His marriage to Barbara in 1959 also marked the beginning of Guy's 32-year career with IBM, where he was both an engineer and supervisor. His 55-year hobby of amateur (Ham) radio brought Guy (W4GBU) distinction the world over culminating in the DX Century Club's Honor Roll acknowledgement that Guy had officially contacted Hams in over 335 countries and territories. Guy and Barbara's love of travel brought them in contact with the Friendship Force, which led to a trip to Moscow in 1992, the first of many.
