I spent the first six years of my life in Madison and the next year in Tucson, Ariz. "The remaining years of my life I have spent around the Cedar Rapids area. I attended Mount Vernon High school and Lisbon High School. This year I am finishing my senior year through American Correspondence School "I like to observe the attitudes of children when faced with unusual situations.

In comparison of people, I enjoy observing animals. Enjoyed Dances "Most of my leisure time is spent in association with ple. I enjoy all dances or group activities. I also enjoy church activities. "I love to see people working together for a common purpose, and in church work, this is possible.
