Vicki's Story

3/21/12 Life After getting married in 68 I moved to Lafontaine, IN. My husband is a Barber and has his shop in Lafontaine, IN., "Dick's Barber Shop", where he has barbered for over 49 years. My husband, Dick, and I have two children. Our son, Rick, is 40 and he is a counselor working with troubled kids. He and Erin blessed us with our first grandchild Richard Lee Carlson III (Tripp) September 2, 2008 and our second grandchild Grace Helen Carlson (Gracie) November 15, 2009 and what a cutie. Dark hair & dark eyes ~ looks like her MIMI. Our daughter, Dawn, is now the Dean of Blended Learning & Dean of Student Services at International Academy of Design & Technology in Tampa, FL. Fancy title for being in charge of establishing & overseeing on-line classes for all 12 sister colleges & overseeing studends at the Tampa college. She married Michael Mattingly 4/29/12 .

rch for a few years and in 1979 I was appointed Liberty Township Trustee. This started my journey into the political arena. I held that office for 8 years then ran for the advisory board & served there for 8 years. I still occasionally participate in caucuses etc. I worked at Clark's Tin Shop for 21 years. I was the office. Did it all when it came to the bookkeeping, invoicing, receivables etc. I also did some of the quoting for jobs. Loved that. Now I am working in Wabash at Schlemmer Brothers. I am in charge of the front end and the Hearth Shoppe. Loving ever minute of that as well. Since coming to work at Schlemmers, I have seen classmates, friends & family that I haven't seen in years, even decades. I am active in our Church with choir, drama & the children's ministry. I am the director for the 3rd thru 6th grade for our Awana program. Now there is the way to stay young as we bus kids to church from the surrounding communities (mostly Marion). It can be trying but it is rewarding. I am currently on leave from Schlemmer Brothers as I am under going chemo with radiation to follow.
