Her agency, Faldmo Tours and Travel, specialized in escorting groups to Hawaii and other destinations worldwide. Upon graduation from Utah State, Mark and Beverly joined his parents in the travel business. Since that time, they have been involved as owners and executive officers of several different travel companies including Columbus Travel which they merged into Morris Travel, creating Morris Columbus Travel.
