Verna's Story
Another year has come and gone. I live in the greater Cincinnati, Ohio area. I'm married. My husband Joe and I have 2 daughters living at home (age 21 and 26). I met my hubby in Ankeny Iowa while going to school at DMACC. I worked at Pizza Hut, he was a customer...the rest is history.
We have been married 31 years. We have lived in Ankeny, Ames, Iowa; West Lafayette, IN; Cincinnati, OH; Forest, VA and now back in Cincinnati. Joe attended Ankeny High, DMACC, Iowa State and got his master's in Materials Science at Purdue. He is a materials engineer and works in research and development for a large jet engine manufacturer.

We have 2 cats, no dogs and a corn field out the back door so I always feels like I have a little bit of Iowa with me. Actually, I do. Years ago my mom found a large piece of rose quartz in the gravel pit on their farm and gave it to me. It has traveled with our family to different locales across the country.
It seems no matter where we have put down roots, Iowa is the place we still call home.
