Terry worked for Dow Corning for many years. Doris worked at JC Penney. They started Carrousel, an antique and teddy bear business, later called Carrousel by Michaud. Their business gave them the opportunity to travel around the country and around the world. They were recognized as among the foremost experts on antique and collectible bears and built what at the time was the world's largest teddy bear, listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. It displayed at many locations, including Disney World. They also wrote several books on bears, including stories of the bears they "adopted," as well as price guides on collectible bears.
