Norma Lee Black met a young Hal Taussig at the First Baptist Church in Amarillo, Texas, when she was 22. They married and have taken decades of adventures together from ranching in Colorado to working at UnTours. In 1993, Norma and Hal founded the UnTours Foundation as a way to channel UnTours profits to those in financial need. Norma is often in Hal’s shadow, but make no mistake, she is a beautiful force of nature in her own right!
