Comments:

I graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1973 with a degree (BA) in English. I then went back for two more years and graduated with a BA in Communications and a BS in Secondary English and Speech Education only to discover I did not enjoy teaching.

I worked my way through college working in an accounting office so when I quit teaching I went in to accounting. I got a job at a bank doing expense accounts and worked my way up to principle accountant for two bank owned companies. After being at the bank 3 years I went to work for a manufactoring company as their cost accountant.

In a curious quirk of fate, the woman who did manufacturing support wanted to try accounting so we switched jobs. I took to this right away.
During my years at Lan-O-Sheen I earned an associate degree in package engineering and became a purchasing agent. In 1982 Lan-O-Sheen relocated to North Carolina.

I then went to work for Artograph, a manufacturing company then located in Minneapolis but now located in Plymouth and I am still there after 25 years. I am the Purchasing and Production manager and I loved my job. Unfortunately due to the downturn in the economy I was laid off in June.

My husband of 33 years worked for Unisys for 37 years and retired 2 years ago.

He now has his own company, Red Rock Energy.
He designs and builds controls for solar panels and sells them on the internet.

We live in White Bear Lake.

Both my husband and I are pilots and own a Piper Cherokee 140 which we keep in a hanger at Anoka County Airport. We also own 48 acres outside of Chisago and plan to build a house and retire up there.
