"Publish my stories, Linda, and take good care of Honey," my mother said to me right before she moved on to her Heavenly Home. At the end of her life, our mother was concerned that the living history of her 92 years be preserved in these stories that she wrote. Born in 1926 Mom's most poignant memories were of growing up in a small northern Indiana town, with her parents, grandparents, and friends. Unusual experiences teaching school and traveling the world are recorded here, as well as navigating the world of competition dance after years of avoiding any type of competitive activity. But it was living through the depression and World War II that shaped her character and developed the value system she lived by all of her life and taught her four children. In her words, "Often I have longed for this kind of book written by one of my ancestors. So, hopefully, my descendents will enjoy reading about some highlights of my long life."
Born September 15, 1926, Jean grew up in North Manchester, Indiana during the depression and World War II. She went on to receive an Associate of Arts Degree from Stephens College, Columbia, Missouri, a Business Degree from Indiana University School of Business, and two Master of Education Degrees. She was a member of Tri Kappa Sorority, and St. Luke's United Methodist Church where she attended regularly. After a career in teaching, Jean volunteered at the Midwest Museum of American Art in Elkhart, Indiana, giving tours to school children and making friends with whom she traveled all over the world. Her balance, coordination and posture were the result of dance training and enabled her to walk without any assistive devices, ever. Hardships, obstacles and challenges in her life provided the skills and determination to live in and maintain her own home, in Carmel, Indiana where she cared for her precious English Cream retriever, Honey.
