Although Arthur Correll and Virginia Weisenstein were both students at the relatively small campus of the College of Wooster, it wasn't until the fall of their senior year that they met. A physics major with a minor in mathematics, Art was born in Bloomington, which is now the northern end of Wooster.

After graduation, Ginny, a native of Butler, PA, taught high school English and Latin while Art worked in a building business. World War II disrupted their lives, and shortly after they married, he was shipped overseas to the South Pacific island of New Caledonia, where he spent over four years as an air- to- ground communications officer. While Art served his country, Ginny returned to Butler to be near her family as she continued teaching.

When the war ended, the couple moved to The Ohio State University where Art obtained a master's degree in plant physiology and Ginny produced Nancy, the first of their children. Art worked in industry for a few years and sons Jim, Philip, and Chuck expanded their family to six.

Ginny and Art decided that they would like to farm, so they purchased 85 acres four miles south of Congress and tried their hands at general and dairy farming. Although they were successful, Art became interested in caged layer houses, and he kept ten thousand laying hens for egg production. After ten years of this, son Jim closed out the houses and turned to crop framing, notably corn, wheat, hay, oats, and soy beans.

Art and Ginny retired and pursued their lifelong interest in traveling. They have visited most of the United States, Hawaii, and the Maritime Provinces as well as toured Europe and Japan. Art indulges his passions for model railroading and photography, and he can often be seen walking about the West View grounds capturing the images of whatever strikes his fancy with one of his four Leicas. If you will ask, he will show you his photographs, which date over six decades, and point out Ginny's needlework that decorates their rooms.

The Corrells are also special for being the very first residents to reserve their apartment in our beautiful Town Square. Choosing a western vista with a view of breathtaking sunsets, Art explained that just over the hills is where his cousin has a farm.

"I can just make it out," Art smiles. "We are really looking forward to living in Town Square."
