What is your job at NCR and when did you start here?
I am the Administrative Assistant to George Lake.  I volunteered to help with mailing projects in 1984 before we even had a studio building. When visitors come in for a station tour, I tell them I've been around longer than the cement blocks in this building.  It all started when a girlfriend was working on a mailing project for the new Christian radio station coming to Gaylord. "I'll help!" I said, and twenty six years later, I'm still helping.

What is your favorite Bible verse? Reason you like it?I Thessalonians 5:16-18 "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."  We often stuggle with the "give thanks in all circumstances" but I'm learning everyday to keep my trust in the Lord. 

Tell us about your family and pets.
Gene, my husband, is retired and really enjoys fishing, football and food.  If you want to learn how to catch a walleye, give him a call.  Son, Paul and his wife Cadie Rae live in Whitehall.  They have given us three wonderful grandchildren.  Daughter, Sarah has a government job and loves her dog.

Where else have you worked?
My first jobs, in my youth, were picking blueberries, babysitting, serving ice cream, packing potato chips, church office work and I held a federal government position. I have years of organizing, scheduling and lots of typing.  I lived in Brazil for almost a year as a short-term missionary. 

If you could do anything else for a living, what else would you do?
You know, I've never filled out a job application for Northern Christian Radio. God has made each of us with unique talents and abilities. I'll probably stay busy in my retirement.  I encourage you to help others walking along your path in life.  I started as a volunteer for what seemed like a one time project and He has allowed me to serve in this ministry for over 26 years.
