What Does Our Family Bar Fight Look Like?
Beth says "Craig was too busy talking and missed the whole thing."
Craig says "I am a lover, not a fighter. I try to stay out of fights Beth starts. It is hard to do. Nobody ever said it would be easy."

I was born in Vivian South Dakota on July 3, 1920. I was the oldest of eight children. My father was John Hullinger and my mother was Pearl Harlan Hullinger.
I worked on the family farm near Vivian, South Dakota. I started driving the school bus at eight years of age. It was first a horse drawn cart and later a Model T. During the great depression South Dakota was also hit by severe drought and grasshoppers.
I went to South Dakota State University and majored in chemistry. I also joined the National Guard. We were mobilized in 1940. I served in North Africa and Italy. My experiences in the war are written in the blog at:
After the War I returned to South Dakota State and completed my B.A. and M.A. Degrees in Chemistry. I met and married Louise Liffengren. Our first child Craig was born while we were in College.
We then moved to Purdue University in Lafayette, Indiana, where I pursued a PhD in Chemistry. Our second child Neil was born there.
I then took a job in the Research Department of Amaizo Corporation in Whiting, Indiana. We worked on corn starch research. I was promoted to Director of Research and then Plant Manager. I earned several patents.
We lived in the Mt. Greenwood neighborhood in Chicago. We joined the Mt. Greenwood Lutheran Church, and have been members ever since then. I also helped found the Beacon School.
Our third child Anne, and our forth child Scott were born in Chicago.
I retired in 1982. Since then Louise and I have stayed active in numerous volunteer activities. We have traveled to numerous locations, including Africa, Europe, and South America. We also took consulting assignments in India, Korea, and Argentina.
