Marital Status / Partner's Name / Children: Married Don 39 years ago in Mason City - lived in town until 1987 and then moved to Nora Springs. Have 2 children -- Brandy (born 1978) married to Aaron Wilson September 2003, one granddaughter, Autumn -18 months; Paul (born in 1983) and still single.

Working / Retired? Activities you enjoy: Worked at 'Pony of the Americas Club' during school at Hamilton College days - it was typing up histories for the breed POA with all the progeny and dates - pedigrees - plus worked part-time for school credit in a lawyer's office. Got hired in the lawyer's office after graduation (Boomhower & Nelsen) and worked there until Nelsen left on his own and Boomhower became a magisrate and I didn't have a job anymore! Got hired at NIACC in 1972 and I'm still here!!!!! 36 years and counting. I don't plan to retire for 2-3 more years because I actually like the job I'm doing now - printing for the college. I get to do design work a little bit also so my artistic 2% is being satisfied.

Favorite song from the 60's The Sound of Silence (Simon & Garfunkle from The Graduate); Those Were The Days; any Ricky Nelsen songs - they're all good.
