“O Lakeland my Alma Mater, Heaven's blessings rest upon thee day by day"

I don't know how many people have heard me spontaneously sing a few lines of our college song.

Another chorus that would be fitting would be, “Those were the days!"

What great memories of days gone by!

One of the greatest highlights for me was being a member of Lakeland's a cappella choir and traveling to many states bringing great music to so many people. I have a whole album of pictures, programs and music from our four choir tours.

Daily chapel experiences were very important to me during my years at Lakeland. As a result of these experiences I believe I gained a spiritual background which enabled me to go on and become active, once again, in my church in Fond du Lac. I was active as a church school teacher, lay leader, local lay speaker and a Stephen Minister, serving as a caregiver to those in need.

Thank you for letting me share some of my life experiences with you and my wonderful years at Lakeland College.
