Bob and I have been married for 19 years in October. We enjoy camping, fishing, swimming, friends and raising our two sons. We also enjoy laughing and we can send our thanks to Tim and Judy (Eisenhuth) Strait for making us laugh the most. To all my classmates a big kiss and hug. I hope your lives are filled with happy memories and nothing but the best.

I graduated from Swedish American Hospital in 1976 as a registered nurse. Stayed in Wisconsin for 2 years in Beloit and Madison, then moved to Aspen Colorado for 6 years. I have lived in Indiana for 9 years working as a flight nurse for 8 of those years. Enjoy flying, hiking, camping, snow skiing and “Mom stuff”.

Our oldest daughter just completed her first year at Bradley University. Where did the time go? Our other daughter will be a senior in High School this fall. I went with her on the HS French club’s trip to Belgium and France – Fantastic sights. During our last 22 1/2 years, we have moved 5 times. We currently live in Northern Illinois. Our family includes a dog and a cat.

The Longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what other people think, or say, or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in charge of out attitudes. — Charles Swindoll

My career track has led me to my current role at the Minn Chamber of Commerce for the past 7 years. I am also pursuing my Master’s degree in Community & Economic Development. I have four children. My son is a high school chemistry & physics teacher. One daughter is a nurse at Mayo Clinic,
another is a CPA for Target Corp and my youngest daughter will follow her Grandpa Schuler’s footsteps when she enters dental school. Even though I have resided in Minnesota for many years, I remain a true UW Badger and Green Bay Packer fan!!
