Newlin said they had to get on with life quickly after Eddie's death because they had two young highly active sons not pausing their growth to mourning the loss of their brother. Joel was barely a year old and Allan was three and a half.

In the summer of 1959 Arnie and Newlin drove to Florida to visit Newlin's family. On the drive back, Newlin's two nieces Linda Langston and Elise Ferrell accompanied them. Linda and Elise experience their first Mexican food in Texas. Also in Texas, Arnie took Linda and Elise to an Elvis concert. On the road trip the family saw attractions such as the Petrified Forest National Park. In California, they visited a mission or two as well as Disneyland.

Relaxing at home in the Nevis apartment in Westwood, Joel observed the adults eating potato chips with dip; not quite getting the dip concept, he shoved one in Linda's mouth with toothpaste on it.
