We have been truly blessed with 4 wonderful children. Jim, our oldest son practices law with Frank. Mike has a degree in criminal justice and is a policeman in Vermilion. He has one son who is ten. Keith is a real estate appraiser in Maumee near Toledo. Melissa will be a sophomore at the University of Toledo in the fall. She is a political science major and is talking about a career in law.

While the children were young, I was a stay at home mom and loved it. I was busy with service organizations, scouts and Sunday School. I am now a member of the Executive Board of the Salvation Army, serving as secretary. I get great satisfaction in helping to build a bigger and better unit so that we can help more people, especially the children.

Besides the law firm, Frank and I own a real estate title insurance company, which takes much of my time. Hopefully, we can retire in a few years and enjoy the things that we don't seem to have enough time for now.
