After leaving radio, Harry and Maggie moved to Tipton to run their own business, Ye Old Pub, for several years. She also worked for the Iowa Department of Human Services in Tipton. Upon returning to Cedar Rapids, Maggie began a 14 year career with St. Luke's Hospital working in public relations and special projects. She retired from St. Luke's in 1992, and then began working for the Variety Club of Iowa for four years until her final retirement in 1997.
