Their daughter, Laura Beth, who received her Doctorate in Theology at the Harvard Divinity School, lives with her husband, Brian and son, Finn, in Sydney, Australia. Brian is an astrophysicist at Sydney University, which has helped Bugg to be a better listener since he has nothing to say on the subject of astrophysics.
