I am getting MARRIED!

April 27th John Brokopp started calling me from Pennsylvania. John had worked in Gabon from 1972-1992. We met there in 1977. On August 4th I drove into Minneapolis and picked up John at the airport. Within the first hour we were ENGAGED to be MARRIED!!

We were headed to my family reunion where my four brothers would be. The plan was for John to ask my four brothers for my hand in marriage but HE COULD NOT WAIT!!! He gave me the ring before he met my brothers. They did not say no though.

Immanuel Hospital Nursing Class of 1970 Reunion!

 I attended Immanuel Hospital School of Nursing from 1967-1970. Above is my class during our February 9, 1968 "Capping Ceremony".

July 23rd was the 46th reunion of the Immanuel Hospital School of Nursing Class of 1970. It was GREAT! So much fun seeing others. I had not been to a reunion since my 21st reunion many years ago. There were 18 of us who attended the reunion, plus a number of husbands. We had so much fun. We laughed and laughed as we shared memories of our time in school
