Dan's Story
This picture is of me and my Grandson, Brayden, who just turned 6 months old. So far Ann and I only have one of these little beings but this one has been so much fun we are hoping for more.
I am helping him tie his shoes so he can help me tie mine in a few years.
Ann and I live just West of Springfield, Illinois We built our home in the country 30 years ago and still enjoy our life with the "Critters". I might add that some of them have two legs out here.
After college, and active duty in the Army, I worked for Horace Mann Insurance Company, in Springfield, for 4 1/2 years. I then received a larger calling to join Forsyth Insurance Group, also in Springfield as a sales representative and its Secretary/Treasurer.
I have been with Forsyth for 35 years and have served as its President for 15 years. Dale Blankenhip (Another MacArthur High School Grad) and I completed a buyout of the other 8 stockholders of the firm in January of 2006. Other than an Economic Meltdown and the Government...Expand for more
wanting to take over a substantial portion of our business, things have been going very well.
Ann also graduated from IWU with a BSN and has been working for the same doctor for over 35 years. We have three daughters: Kimberly, Amanda (Teaches school in Springfield - Married and mother of Brayden) and Kelli (TV reporter for WSBT in South Bend, IN... However she is changing jobs, after three years there and hopes to find a new career writing and selling advertising for a wedding magazine.
Ann was originally from Atwood, IL, Just East of Decatur. We have been married 39 years. (That's why they call her "Saint Ann")
In our free time we like to visit with our kids (and Grandkid)and travel to Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe. I thought I was an accomplished gambler but Ann trumps me with her patience and skill.
I'm still pretty much the same person that I was in high school and college - If it involves fun, count me in!
