Darcy Jenkins-Holick:  

Life I am married and live in the Milwaukee area, about 40 miles north of the city of Milwaukee and approximately 90 minutes north of Chicago. I am employed as a Nurse Practitioner and work in the field of Urology. I have earned my doctorate, so I am Dr. Darcy now. I have been in the medical field for nearly 40 years, a decision I made after a life altering experience. My background prior to becoming a Nurse Practitioner, was working primarily as an inpatient medical-surgical nurse in the areas of Urology, Gynecology and Gynecological cancers at the Medical College of Wisconsin (Froedtert Hospital, Milwaukee). I have two daughters, the oldest is Amy (born in 1972) who has a post-graduate education in paralegal law, through Hamline University in St. Paul. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor's Degree in Justice and Public Policy prior to enrolling at Hamline(proud mom). My youngest daughter, Courtney (born 1983),is a registered nurse, having graduated from the College of Saint Catherine in St. Paul. She has travelled to Europe on three occasion singing with the college's women's choir. My nuclear family still resides in the Minneapolis area (no one left in Coon Rapids)!

Mom now resides in New Brighton, MN in a senior's apartment complex. I TRY to get home couple of times a year, but whenever back in the cities, I never seem to see anyone familiar from our huge graduating class??? "Where did you all go?" I traveled to India in March 2007, through through my alma mater university, to work at and assess a rural northern mission hospital and to teach students at their nursing school and mission hospital. I also crossed the Pakistan border for one VERY long day, not a feat worth repeating I assure you! I am 56 years old currently. My husband John, is 7 years older than myself, and was involved in professional automobile racing most of his younger adult life, mostly on the European continent (Formula One). He completed his degree in photography from the University of Wurzburg, Germany while living there over a decade. While there, he worked for two auto racing publications much like our "Road and Track" and "Car and Driver" magazines (LeAction & Sport Auto). He also was a pro...Expand for more
