Their second daughter Ann Elizabeth was born there in 1951. She is currently retired and living with her husband Fred in Waterloo, Iowa. She writes fascinating travel diaries and enjoys birdwatching. doing crossword puzzles, sewing and reading. I honor her not only because she is my mother, but because after twenty years of teaching at the University level, she is still my most important role model as an educator. Her lifelong interest and quest for knowledge in all areas have always been an inspiration to me. She has also shown me that a sense of humor and an open mind are essential in life. 7/13/94
