Places I have Worked: Currently work part time at the UW-Oshkosh as a Program Assistant in the Faculty Development Office. Started at the University in 1969!!! Can't believe I've stayed there all these years. I started working in the Admissions Office, then moved on to work for an Assistant Vice Chancellor, which then led to my current position. I have been working part time (3 days/week) since 1982. That's probably one of the main reasons I've stayed so long. I also help out in the Religious Ed Program at St. Peter's and serve as a Communion Minister there.
Places I have Traveled: In recent years, most of our traveling has been to Northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula. This summer we vacationed in the Eagle River area. My father and my sister and her family generally vacation with us--a real family affair which we all enjoy.
About My Family: My husband Dennis and I have been married since 1972. Shortly after we were married, Dennis quit his job to return to college. He graduated from UW Oshkosh. Currently he works as a metal fabrication salesman. H travels mainly throughout Wisconsin. We have two boys--Darren is 17 and is a senior at Oshkosh West and Paul is 9 (yes, that's correct...9) and is in the 4th grade at Lakeside School. I like thinking that having a nine year old keeps me young!!! My mother died two months after Paul was born so having him helped me get through that difficult time. Both boys play soccer and basketball. Can't believe that Darren will be off to college a year from now--he wants to go into engineering so will probably go to Platteville.
Future Plans: Continue working at the university. I don't look that far ahead--I just deal with one day at a time.
