Elaine has traveled extensively throughout Europe and Asia but has a more predominant taste for African studies. It was during a trip to Portugal when she dipped down in to Morocco for a weekend with traveling companions that she met her future husband, Lt. Ronald Davies. A chance meeting with the Air Force flyboy produced a strong and fierce love that lasted until his death in 1996. He was 43 when he died in a plane crash over the Florida everglades on his way home from a fishing trip off the coast of Miami.
