In the summer of 1960 Arnie accepts a position split between the J. Hillis Miller Health Center in the Neurology Department and at the College of Engineering at the University of Florida.
He buys a house in a neighborhood called Libby Heights (a name given by the developer but not really used by Gainesvilleans) near an elementary school and a city park. The house at 3448 NW 11th Avenue had four bedrooms, a living room, dining room, two state of the art bathrooms, and a kitchen that was open to the family room. The theme colors in the house were pink and mint green.
Newlin arrived at the end of the summer eight months pregnant, so Linda, Elise, and Newlin's sister Eloise came down from Crawfordville to unpack and arrange the house.
