TIME OUT FOR HAPPINESS

by ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 1, 1970

It's about 25 years since oldest boy Frank Jr. introduced the philoprogenitive Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, parents of twelve, a decision determined on their honeymoon. Lillie was 25 when she married and had thought herself doomed to spinsterhood, never having had an unescorted date. This goes farther back in the annals (Frank's mother, Martha, was as outspoken as she was straight-backed) and on with other collaborative aspects of their marriage -- Frank's motion and systems studies and books and lectures; Lillian's continuation of his work after his death so that at 65 she was just getting her second wind and at 85 barely slowing down (teaching, management, television). Mr. Gilbreth's jocular, homemade touch is too familiar to need comment as is the audience designation -- that square family circle.
