I don't know where Bill was living at this point.  He married my Aunt Grace the following month, and went with her to Massachusetts - MIT, I believe, though they lived in Boston - to get his doctorate in science.

Roger (my father) had gotten out of the Navy the previous month and arrived home to his wife Edith (my mother) in Massachusetts on Thanksgiving night.  The next day they went up to Cambridge and arranged for Roger to start at Harvard Law School the following semester.
