From: "Laraine Wessels"
To: ALL

Graduated from Bradley U. at age 50 with highest honors (Summa cum laude)!! Worked for Peoria Public Schools nearly 30 years in a variety of capacities including as interpreter for the hearing impaired at Sterling, computer lab manager at WHS and since certified to teach, I've taught business classes at PHS, been the technology coordinator at Trewyn and now teach computer-related classes to adults at Peoria Adult Ed (old Washington School on Moss). I love it!

Husband of 38 years, Dick, is retired from Procter & Gamble. I was a stay-at-home mom for our 2 children, Sheryl & Steve until they were school-age. They are both married. Sheryl teaches high school business classes part-time & lives near Stillwater, MN and Steve is the CFO for Alcast Co. & lives near us (Kickapoo area -- way out War Memorial aka Rt. #150). We have 3 grandchildren, Sheryl's husband, Dan, has a 17 year old son who lives with them and together they adopted a little girl from Russia who is now 3 and one of the joys of our lives! Steve/Amy have a one-year-old son and so are carrying on the Wessels' name! We are blessed!
