Henderson was an avid photographer and carried a camera wherever he went on or off campus; he was well-known throughout Oregon for his slide prsenations to schools and clubs on OSU's agricultural research. His 30-year retirement was an active one as he became known for his expertise in numismatics, participated in Triad Club and other OSU activities, and continued as a ubiquitous photographer.
Alice Welbes graduated from Oregon State College in 1937. She and Henderson married in 1938.
