Skönhetsdrottningen gifte sig 1939:
Maurice (Morry) Carlson was born in Muskegon Heights, Michigan. In 1939, he married Dorothy Paulson, also born and raised in the Muskegon area. Together they began a life of service to the Lord. This included raising three sons, Warren, Larry, and Randy, in a strong Christian home.
As an accomplished saxophone player and converted dance band leader, Morry turned his talent into a powerhouse for the Lord. During his long career of service to God and his community, he was employed by the Muskegon Chronicle in the Advertising Department, was an early pioneer of Youth for Christ, and served on the Constitution Committee for Youth For Christ International. He became known as Uncle Morry when he sang with the Uncles Quartet on the Children's Bible Hour. In addition, he served as Director of the Winona Lake Bible Conference, and was one of the originators of Gospel Films in Michigan.
Morry & Dorothy's greatest accomplishment was the establishment of the Youth Haven Ranches in Rives Junction, Michigan, and Picacho, Arizona. The vision for the Ranches sprang from the blessing Morry received as founder of the original Youth Haven Boys Home for troubled teenagers in Muskegon County, Michigan. Together with their son Larry and his wife Cheri, Morry and Dorothy began to turn this vision into a real ministry in 1968. Acting on their faith in God's provision, they purchased several acres of land in Rives Junction and began to transform a field into a haven for underprivileged children.
Several years later, in 1982, a Tucson man named Palmer Miller donated 40 acres of desert property in Picacho, Arizona, to the purpose of beginning a Youth Haven Ranch in Arizona, and thus began the Desert Ranch.
Morry Carlson went to be with the Lord on May 1, 1994 and Dorothy followed on August 20, 2004, but their vision lives on. Today Youth Haven reaches thousands of disadvantaged children each year.
