Gail's Story
Life
I live in Northern Minnesota, where my husband Bill & I own Bowen Lodge, a fishing and hunting resort on huge (70,000 acre)Lake Winnibigoshish. I have two sons, Jens and Dane.
School
High School is a definite blur for me, I don't remember doing much. I really wanted to graduate and move on. I've completely lost touch with most of the people I knew, so I hope this is a way to get back in contact.
College
I attended Buffalo State University, majoring in art & design. I then took a year off before transfering to the University of Arizona-Tucson. There I studied horticulture and entomology, which led me to a job in honeybee research.
Workplace
While at the University of Arizona I worked as ...Expand for more
a research technician for the USDA Bee Research Laboratory(now the Carl Hayden Bee Research Center). In 1979-1980 I went to Europe, attending an International Bee Research Symposium (Apimondia)in Athens, Greece. I spent the year traveling, and working in Switzerland. When I returned to the states I took a job in California at Honeybee Genetics, a company specializing in queen bees, genetics, artificial insemination, etc. I have also worked with honeybees in Manitoba, and Nova Scotia, Canada. In 1978 I met my future husband in Tucson. In addition to the fishing resort we do guided bird hunts, raise & train English Setters and English Pointers. We really enjoy the work and the people we get to meet.
