Jean Lounsbury meets Harold Bahan:
As a young woman, Jean was a "flapper" and lived a very wild lifestyle. Jean was first married briefly to some "hotshot" who she continually fought with, including on their wedding day. The marriage was annulled and Jean set her sights on marrying "mister proper big shot" Harold Bahan. Harold was quite handsome and was considered a real catch. He was from an upper crust Catholic family, born in Pennsylvania, and he looked upon the Lounsbury family with some disdain, although he was always kind to them. Harold's mother, Agnes, always considered the Bahans to be a class above the Lounsburys. Jean always felt that she "lived up" to the Bahan standards and considered herself lucky to have them accept her.
