Editing Vaughn Monroe (section)

==Personal life==
Monroe married Marian Baughman on April 2, 1940, in [[Jeannette, Pennsylvania]], where they had met as high school students. They did not date during high school, but became romantically inclined toward each other when their paths crossed again in [[New York City]], years after graduation. They returned to Jeannette for their wedding. They had two children, Candace and Christina. They remained married until Vaughn's death in 1973.<ref name="triblive1"/><ref name="bigbandlibrary1"/>

An avid railroad enthusiast, Monroe collected and built HO [[scale model]] trains. On concert tours he had an elaborate and compact workshop that folded neatly into a valise. Inside were hundreds of intricate tools to build operating miniature locomotives, passenger and freight cars.<ref>Page, John (June 1986). ''Model Railroader''.</ref>
