Concordia Teachers' College (now Concordia University), Seward, NE 1973
I spent a total of 17 years as an elementary school teacher in Lutheran schools (Louisiana, California, Colorado). My "second career" has been that of church secretary (18 years total) and I love it!

My husband worked as a contract telephone engineer for nearly 18 years and kept us moving all over the US while our children were young. After 8 years in Colton, CA ('86 - '94) we finally ended up in Greeley, CO. Galen now works for Century Link, and we love living here. We have 4 seasons, but nothing extreme. (We try not to "save" our snow for the entire winter.)

I still enjoy singing and have served as our church choir director. We love to go camping; Colorado has some FANTASTIC outdoor areas! Other interests include gardening, knitting, some sewing, reading, Colorado Rockies baseball, animals (we currently have one dog - English Springer -- and two cats - "pound kitties"). And yes, my "kids" have introduced us to FaceBook, where we connect with family and friends. Football season is always enjoyable (some years more than others); we have a "mixed marriage" . . . I'm a diehard Green Bay Packers fan, and Galen is a Minnesota Vikings fan! Keeps life interesting.

School Story:

My favorite times were spent in the music building - choir room! (By my senior year, I couldn't tell you where my assigned locker was even located, let alone a combination.) Madrigals, A Cappella, choral competitions, . . . that was my life!
I remember two years of Latin, one with the German teacher and the second with the French teacher. Neither really enjoyed teaching the class; in Latin II the teacher (can't remember his name) would play Rod McKuen poety/music instead of teaching. Hmmm....
