Remember 1976?

Seems that lots of people like to put old photos on Facebook-- "throw back Thursday", "flash back Friday", etc. Thought I would feature some of the Extension Advisers/Home Economics that were listed in a 1976 directory of the Illinois Association of Extension Home Economists. (IAEHE--now IEAFCS)

The first individual listed was Kathy Augustine. She was working in Lee County, and had been in her position since 1973.  She attended Eastern Illinois University and the University of Illinois.

Anyone remember?

Amy Griswold has not really retired. She is working full time for the Western Illinois Agency on Aging. I believe she said she was a Program Coordinator for Evidence Based Programming. Sounds like it definitely fits in with her Family & Consumer Science Expertise!

Amy also has several grandsons--8 or 9, I think. They and the rest of her family keep her busy--and young--right Amy?

The first issue of FYI for 2015 has been published. It is available at  http://web.extension.uiuc.edu/fyi/. 

Condolences to Judy Taylor on the loss of her father on January 5th. There is a link to the obituary.  It is also interesting to note what the new mileage rates are.

Rachel Schwarzendruber retired from Extension in February 2014. She has grand kids in  Austin, Texas and Arlington Heights that  provide visit opportunities.

She also reported that the Extension Family Life Team  received national recognition for their Caregiving Relationships curriculum. Good job ladies! I'm sure anyone interested in getting the information could contact a member of the Family Life Team. That issue will affect most of us sooner or later.

Rachel had an interesting goal. She said she intended to clean her house and get rid of half of everything she had! Wish I could do that! I will be interested to talk to her and see how she is getting along with that project.
