What a treat to serve and live in the same community I was born and raised! Additionally, my sons graduated from Mizzou and returned home with spectacular brides to live and work in agriculture-related fields here locally. This allows me to spend quality time with my five grandchildren – two girls and three boys. We enjoy family time, community events, the St. Louis Cardinals and all the grandkids' activities.
