I don't think I've mentioned it directly before. She received her BSN from
Mankato State U in Minnesota in 1984. When she graduated there were no jobs
around for new grads; she and several of her classmates attended a
recruitment fair for the hospital in Wenatchee that she still works at. She
had only inteded to stay for a year and then return to Minnesota..... but
then her and I met and the rest is history :-)
