1946 marriage of Erik Gunnar Erickson and Betty Carrucan

Erik Gunnar met Betty Carrucan while drilling water bores in Stawall soon after the war. Betty was a teacher at Stawall High School. They married on 2 July 1946 in the Stawall Catholic Church. By that time, Gunnar had changed the spelling of his family name from Eriksson to Erickson. He said in later life that this was to avoid confusion in the spelling.
