Leann's Story
Hi everyone.
This is exciting for me to have made contact with some of my classmates from ACHS. The past 50 years have
been a mixture of life's joys and sorrows, but that's called LIFE isn't it? When I graduated, I started making plans to
spend the rest of my life with Dan Steele. We met on a blind date at the Concert Choir Picnic in the spring of our
Junior year. Kathy Mitton and Ron Worl set us up. Dan and Ron worked together at Safeway, We have them to
thank for our love story which has lasted 49 years come November. Dan was Navy bound and served aboard the
USS Enterprise Aircraft Carrier during Viet Nam. He returned in 1969 and in 1971 our son came to us. Five years
later we were blessed with a daughter. We remained in the Denver area until 1983 when we moved to Hastings,
NE, where we have made our life. Career wise I was trained as a Classroom Interpreter for the Deaf and continued
until 1995 when my students graduated and moved forward with their lives. The work was rewarding but ver...Expand for more

challenging. I then worked for a couple of years in a Bible Book Store but never felt like it was a job, but a ministry.
Upon retirement at 62, to care for a family member with terminal Cancer, my life was devoted to her until her passing
3 years later. Now I spend as much time as possible with our 2 granddaughters (aged 17 & 19) and with visits at
Nursing Homes and Schools with my registered Therapy Dog. This is rewarding and keeps me busy. Dan
and I enjoy camping in our motor home and working together in our back yard, which we have created into a mini
park. Dan built us a gazebo in 2006 and we love starting our mornings with a cup of coffee and the sounds of the
birds. It is a peaceful sanctuary. Dan is still working but may simi-retire soon. Looking forward to the
50th reunion since this will be the only one we have been able to attend. Although I didn't grow up with you I
did develop some good friendshisp through Trojanaires, newspaper staff, and just having fun. See you in August.
