The first year after high school, Wendell Nisly (Class of '66) and I attended EMC (now EMU) for one year
and then were married the next summer, July, 1968. We left for Miami, Florida, three weeks later to begin two years
of IW service. Wendell worked as an operating room orderly at Jackson Memorial Hospital and I worked as a secretary
first for an insurance adjuster and then in the ECG lab at the hospital. Good friends and good memories!
We moved
back to Kalona in 1970. Brigette was born in 1975 and Shane in 1977. We found ourselves employed at a variety of occupations
over the years. Wendell is now an insurance agent at Menno Services in Kalona. I went back to school at the University
of Iowa at 35 (they called us "returning students") and received a B.S. in Accounting. I am an Accountant at Systems
Unlimited, Inc., in Iowa City--we provide services and housing for individuals with developmental disabilities.
We
are avid IMS basketball fans and attend the state tournament whenever possible! We spend most of our vacations in Los
Angeles--both Brigette and Shane graduated from USC (Go Trojans!) and stayed there. Our grandaughter, Grace, is 2-1/2
and Brigette is expecting twins in November! I know, we should retire right now and move to LA!
