Flashback to '76

Our 1976 directory did not have a photo of Wilma Brommel included. However, I'm sure several of you remember her. She was DeWitt County Extension Adviser, Home Economics. Before that she had worked for three years as Extension Adviser in Buchanan County, Iowa, three years as an instructor at North Dakota University, and two years as a Home Economics Teacher.

Wilma received her Bachelor's degree in 1950 from Iowa State University. and a Master's from Indiana State University in 1968.

Big news in the horse racing world today. American Pharaoh, the horse that several of us cheered to victory in the Kentucky Derby, won the Breeder's Cup Classic. He is the only horse ever to win the Triple Crown and the Breeder's Cup--The Grand Slam! He will now be retired from racing.

Happy Halloween Everyone!

Deb Pflasterer and her family own and manage an Ice Cream Shop and Grill in their town. As you can guess, this keeps them plenty busy!

She and her husband have three children ages 18, 10 and 8. She also still helps out at State Fair with entries, etc.

Good to see you, Deb!
