and I travel throughout the U.S. by RV. Have been doing my hobby of

and one more on the way. In October 2002, I entered the World Senior
Games in Ogden, Utah. I have always enjoyed cycling, so I decided to
prepare myself for three events. I trained myself in the Arizona mountains
at the 8,000 ft. level. The first event was a 3-1/2 mile hill climb.
I was 2nd place for the silver medal. The second event was a 24-mile
road race at an elevation of 5,000 ft. Was 2nd for a silver medal. The
third event was a 36-mile cross country race through the mountains of
Ogden, Utah. I placed 3rd for a bronze medal. |

After graduating from North,
I attended Simpson College, where I received a BA degree in elementary
education. I married Don Fuller, and we had two daughters. I have been
a widow for the past 20 years. My oldest daughter, Nancy, lives in Marshalltown,
IA, and she has three girls. My daughter Linda lives in Davenport, IA,
and she has one girl and two boys. All of my grandchildren are teenagers
now.
We lived in Sioux City, IA; Omaha, NE; Urbandale, IA;and Waterloo/Cedar
Falls, IA before moving to Dubuque 30 years ago. Last July I retired
after working for 29 years as Registrar at Wartburg Theological Seminary.
I have had a long-standing interest in family history, so retirement
has given me more time to work on that. One of my ancestors, John S.
Dean, was one of the original settlers of Des Moines. He is one of those
who donated land for the site of the state capitol and Dean Avenue was
named after him -- (just a little bit of trivia). I recently discovered
that there is also a Dean Lake on the East Side -- but you wouldn't
want to go there because you really can't get there, and if you did
get there, you wouldn't know what to do, but hold your nose.
I like to travel, spend time with family and friends, do volunteer work
at our local arboretum, read, and learn new things on the computer.
Thanks to the good genes I inherited from my ancestors, I'm enjoying
good health and life in general. I am planning a trip to Alaska later
this summer. |

Fondest Memories of High
School:
Eisenhower's first inauguration (first Republican president in our lifetime)..three
of us skipped school that day to watch anfd after that bit of "hooky"
had to report to Don Emanuel's office for ten lashes with a wet noodle.
I have fond memories of so many of my classmates that I only superficially
got to know when I was in high school. Some I knew well...Norman Bone,
Clair Austin and, from grade school days at Kirkwood, Terry Crawford
(he wrote in my yearbook, "They will never have another liquid
air demonstration like ours!"...Brandon Martin (Brandon, Terry,
and I played chess at noon if I was not running the projector for the
noon movie... and it was the three of us who were delinquent for Eisenhower's
inauguration. And, last, but not least nor the first, I had a key to
the Chem Lab given to me by Mr. Lockridge. He had me updating the Periodic
Table on the wall there, and I had free access at anytime the school
was open. |
Comments (since graduation):
I have travelled the world. Lived in Northern Ireland from 1978 to 1981.
I have visited my ancestral beginnings in England with my father, have
been in the home where his mother and my grandmother were born, have
been in the home (a grand estate) where she grew up. Have been in the
Middle East and in Egypt, North Africa, most of Europe, the Far East
to include Japan, Korea, Formosa (Taiwan). My memories today are more
of you, my classmates. You all have a special place in my heart. You
are loved. |
Most significant happening
in my life?
Being me. Yes, I could reminisce about this or that...even how I avoided
certain death because God did not allow me to be where I intended to
be when I thought I wanted to be. (If you have patience to listen to
this brief account, you may ask me when we see each other in August/September.)
Otherwise, a most significant happening? In my life? There have been
a few...as in more than one. The death of my mother. The death of my
daughter. The death of my father. It is natural that our parents might
precede us in death. It is not natural that one of our children might
precede us in death. Is that most significant? No, but it teaches me,
and or us, that God is in charge; we are not. If you want to know more,
ask me in September. |
