In Richmond, Virginia, Carl received a degree in pharmacy from the Medical College of Virginia and they opened a pharmacy in Leesburg, VA, fulfilling all their dreams. They turned the pharmacy into an office practice for pharmacy, a concept they pioneered. Jewell, gave up her own career, joining Carl and becoming his full partner in business as well as in life.
