A
Actually,
I've
lived
in
Ames
for
more
than
40
years
now.
I
grew
up
in
Iowa,
Falls
lived
in
various
places
both
abroad
and
in
the
United
States.
Until
then,
returning
to
Ames,
my
family
had
moved
to
Ames
and
the
man
who
ultimately
became
my
husband
was
from
aim,
so
it
was
as
simple
as
that.
We
have
found
it
a
very
good
place
to
raise
our
family.
A
My
grandchildren,
for
example,
are
here
visiting
now
and
think
it's
a
wonderful
place
to
get
away
from
the
hectic
life
of
big
cities
and
come
back
here
so
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
We've
had
my
family
is
founded
a
very
exciting
and
exhilarating
place
to
be
I've
done
a
variety
of
things.
Originally,
when
I
came
to
Ames,
I
was
teaching
at
Des
Moines
area,
community
college,
first
on
the
boon
campus
and
ultimately
on
the
Ankeny
campus
and
then
continued
to
do
that
on
a
part-time
basis.
A
After
my
second
child
was
born
from
there,
I
went
on
to
purchase
the
publication
called
the
Ames
bulletin
board,
which
I
made
into
a
quarterly
publication
that
is
of
what's
going
on
in
Ames
thing.
We
operated
that
as
a
as
a
family
business.
My
husband
did
all
of
the
layout
work
on
it.
I
did
the
writing
and
the
selling
of
ads
my
children
did
the
assembling
and
delivering.
So
that
was
the
business
that
we
had
out
of
home
for
quite
a
while.
Well
I
had
spent
a
good
deal
of
time.
A
Beyond
that
I've
been
involved,
volunteer
efforts
most
recently
in
Ghana,
where
I
went
for
a
two-week
opportunity
to
work
at
a
school
where
kids
have
been
rescued
from
slavery
and
were
being
educated
and
brought
back
in
into
the
mainstream.
So
I've
been
fortunate
to
have
a
variety
of
volunteering
opportunities.
My
free
time,
I
am
enjoying
gardening
enjoying
biking.
I
have
just
come
home
from
the
swimming
pool.
A
Yet
having
all
of
this
in
in
one
small,
very
manageable
town
where
you
can
drive
from
went
into
another
in
in
15
minutes.
Also,
of
course,
the
fact
that
it
is
a
university
community
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
have
the
kind
of
entertainment
and
education
that
ordinarily,
a
community
of
this
size
would
not
would
not
have
so
I'm,
always
pleased
when
my
friends
come
here
from
bigger
cities
and
are
thrilled
at
the
diversity
that
aims
offers
well.
A
I
was
on
the
City
Council
for
16
years,
four
terms,
I
retired
from
there
thinking
I
was
retiring
permanently
from
city
government
and
four
years
later,
I
was
asked
if
I
would
run
for
mayor.
So
I
agreed
to
do
that
and
him
at
the
beginning
of
my
third
term.
Now,
in
mayor
as
mayor,
my
favorite
thing
about
being
mayor,
I
I'm,
not
sure
I
can
designate
one
favorite
thing,
but
I
think
I
do
compare
it
to
the
time
of
which
I
was
on.
City
council
is
contrasted
to
being
mayor
and
I.
