Biographical Information

I attended a liberal arts college in rural Lamoni, Iowa, Graceland College, after graduation from Eastern High. I received my Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Elementary Education. I finished in January of 1965 and taught Kindergarten at Allen Street School in Lansing for one semester. The day after school finished I married Dale Volz and we have lived in Minden City at the same address ever since. The first year in Minden City [a small town in the Thumb of Michigan about 9 miles west of Lake Huron] I taught in the local elementary school, grades 1 through 4 -- only 20 students. Then I retired :>) and raised our family and worked on the farm. We had a Dairy and crop farm with about 50 cows, raised all the off spring -- heifers and steers and also raised wheat, navy beans to sell and corn, hay, oats to feed the cattle. We are now semi-retired having sold the dairy cows, but continue to raise dairy heifers.

I also became very active in our church, had girl scout troops for 10 years, and was on Sanilac County Farm Bureau committees. I've written newsletters, organized events for Farm Bureau, worked at County Fairs. Our children have been in scouts [our oldest son is an Eagle Scout], Future Farmers of America. Sheila attended Michigan State in Veterinary Technician program and Dan took the Dairy Short Course. Sheila is married with 6 children, lives in St. Johns north of Lansing, homeschools her children and is a very busymom! Dan is married with 3 children. He has been farming with us since college, but is moving to Montana this summer, 2002. He has been on the Michigan Farm Bureau State Young Farmer committee for several years.

Our youngest son, Todd, is graduating from Graceland College in May with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Technology. He has lived and breathed computers since elementary school.

Today I'm doing some substitute teaching, only in grades K - 4. I've started a new hobby of quiltmaking, doing photo albums with my daughter-in-law and enjoy using the computer. We really enjoy our 9 grandchildren, traveling and camping in our 5th wheel.
