Shelli Ruggles Chaknine

I moved to Keokuk, Iowa the summer before our senior year. So I actually graduated from Keokuk Senior High.

After highschool I went to college off and on for several years. Finally ended up in the nursing field in 1995. I have worked as a clinic nurse for about the last 9 years or so.

I had my daughter in March 1996. Her name is Brenna, and she is 12 and in the 7th grade!

I married in 2000 and divorced a few years ago.

Currently we live in Hamilton, Illinois.

This past summer I reconnected with Jodi Welcher (Hudson) when she moved back to Iowa. Since then I have been seeing her brother Billy who was 2 grades ahead of us in school.
