Karen's Story
After working 15 years at Bawden P:rinting in Eldridge, Iowa, I was forced to retire after unsuccessful back surgery. I am now a water aerobics instructor at the North Family YMCA in Davenport. I am enjoying the job immensely.
I have five grandchildren and live in Davenport.
I always wanted to be a legal secretary when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a good idea. As it turns out, they were surprised.
When I want to blow off steam, I go for a drive.
My inspiration came from my mom. She was the best role model for a girl and she taught me most of what I base my family values on. I try to live my life as close to the way my...Expand for more
mom lived hers.
My current age is 62. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be really old. I was so completely wrong. I feel pretty good and stay as active as I can, barring any back pain. Thanks to my water aerobics, I find that I feel better than I have in a long time and I can still do some things I never saw my mom do!
My daughter wishes I would dress more like someone she knows who gets her clothes from Goodwill!!
I share my home with my daughter and granddaughter, which I find keeps me on my toes.
My oldest friend is Becky Bohne. She and I met in high school. I think we clicked because we both have similar values.
