Nanette's Story

Life After graduation I followed the scholarship trail. This earned me a Bachelor of Arts in English and French at Southwestern in Weatherford and a Master of Arts in English Education at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. Ten years later, I completed a Master of Divinity degree at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary on the campus of Northwestern University. Since graduation I have worked as a glassware washer in a microbiology lab, front help in an A&W, a researcher on a Women’s Studies project, an English composition tutor, a high school remedial reading teacher, a junior high English teacher, an electronics factory line worker, an administrative assistant in a regional media center, a library assistant in a seminary library, a switchboard operator, an academic researcher for theology professors, a Methodist minister, an administrative assistant in a statistics department, an account representative for a private pension plan, a catalog sales representative and now an acc...Expand for more

As for the husband thing, well, to quote Gloria Steinem, "I don’t mate well in captivity." In 1998 I was down-sized from the private pension plan where I worked.

I returned to southwest Wisconsin where my parents had retired and moved into a mobile home next to my parents’ house. I found a job working for Lands’ End Business Outfitters which has turned out to be an extraordinary place to work even with a 54 mile commute. My father’s health has slowly and steadily deteriorated and he now lives in a nursing home three blocks from me. My mother had triple bypass surgery in September 2001.
