After graduation, I attended the University of Wisconsin, River Falls. In 1968,1 received a BS in Agriculture Chemistry. That summer, I was employed by Dow Chemical in Midland, Michigan, in Biochemistry Research. Later n 1968, after getting my draft papers, I enlisted in the U.S. Navy for four years. Upon discharge from the Navy in 1972,1 attended the University of Wisconsin in Madison and received a Masters Degree in Business. Upon graduating in 1974,1 began working for the State of Wisconsin in various departments, doing accounting. In May, 2004,1 received a thirty year state service recognition plaque from Governor Doyle. Two days later my name fell off the plague. Sure hope that is not an indication of things to come. Right now, I take each day at a time and survive. Both of my children have their own cars and my out of pocket expenses have exploded. My son is enrolled in a private college for next year. My retirement plans are currently on hold. I am hoping to have a projected retirement date by our next reunion.
