s in the Panama Canal Zone, where he became principal of the American high school. This surprisingly high-profile position in the Canal Zone meant that they occasionally rubbed shoulders with Panamanian leaders, including Omar Torrijos and Manuel Noriega. Her 14 years in Panama gave Eleanor a love for swimming in the ocean that she would carry with her into retirement, even if she had to settle for indoor swimming pools. In 1977, they retired to Pensacola, FL, where Eleanor could visit the beautiful white beaches and continue to swim in the ocean, while Clyde could enjoy year-round golf. In Pensacola, Eleanor had her first paying job as a water aerobics instructor. She volunteered in each community she lived in, and she loved to travel. They raised two sons, Clyde A. Willman, Jr. (Wendy) of Rochester, MN and Charles E. Willman (Pati) of Lakewood, CO. Her greatest joy was her family, including her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
