History since graduation:

Married Roger after graduation from St. Paul's and moved to Monett, MO where Roger and his family were. Our three children were born there. While there I learned how to keep books for Roger's gas station/car rebuilding business and later his appliance repair businesses. Was the secretary and a substitute teacher for the parochial school in Freistatt, MO where our children attended. I was extremely fortunate in that my kids liked it whenever I was their teacher.
I have also worked in a couple different banks in several different positions, though the training of new tellers was the position I enjoyed the most.

Even though I have held different jobs and positions, my heart has been at home as a mother and wife. Have continued with my singing and playing guitar. Am currently in the Praise Group within our congregation at Holy Trinity in Rogers.

While at Freistatt, MO, Keith Christiansen became our pastor. It was nice to have him around as our pastor and friend. It was hard to call him "Pastor" at first because to us he was just Keith!

Our appliance repair business we currently run in Rogers is located in the bonus room of our house. It seemed like so much room up there at first but is now a little small with 3 other people in the office and 5-6 more techs running service calls. It has really grown in the last 3 years and we have experienced some growing pains.

The Lord has blessed us abundantly. Life is busy but it is good.

School Story:

This will probably be jumbled but it is just a list of different things I remember from school....
Hannibal and Mark Twain, The circle of trees, Long walks on clear cold nights with a friend, Watching movies in under the bell tower after basketball games, Streakers from Concordia High, Coming into my room on my birthday and nothing was there on my side. Found it all in different places throughout the bathroom. Joy, Jan, and Jaeger and anybody else involved worked pretty hard on that!, Experiencing Street Fair for the first time,
Some guy came the beginning of our secunda year and taught us how to dance - fox trot, waltz, etc, Choir tour, "20 Tweeters", Raiding the boys dorm, Sitting in the grass on the quad talking with friends, Dancing (waltzing) with King Charles Blake, The building of the swimming pool, Blanche - my blue oldsmobile that didn't have a working gas gauge. Measured how much I had with a very long stick, Going to Double E to eat. Terrible water! Tom Barry finding out who had been eating his brownies with the hidden exlax, Shaky's for pizza and beer!, Roger being tied up to the band stand at the park during my bridal shower and then I had to go find him. He wasn't there! Mrs. Gienapp's deviled eggs - very good! Secret Pals for the basketball players, Listening to Mr. Schwab play the pipe organ esp. when on tour, Mom and Dad Rosin, My christening of the new trampoline - got 3 stitches in my eyelid the day before leaving on choir tour. Flying homemade kites, Broke Miss Krotz nose in tennis class, Business classes during interum, Spending time at the cemetary across the street visiting my parents, Camping out at Concordia lake, The Ponderosa, Listening to Glenn and Roger belch the alphabet, Visiting Crown Center and the River Que, Camping at Lake Pom De Terre, Spending time in with Mrs. Fuhrmann when sick, The statue of St. Paul on the quad, The excitement of coming home I had when cresting the hill on the highway and seeing campus after being home,

I am sure there are many, many more things I could write about but would be here all night. This is just a start.
