We are currently active members of Hope Lutheran Church in Everly where Marilyn is organist and the church secretary. I am on the board of directors for the Clay County Cattlemen, and a member of the Clay County Pork Producers, Farm Bureau, and the Everly Lions Club. We value family and the time we can spend with them. Our son and daughter are both married and we have one grandson, and four granddaughters all of which are the apples of our eyes!! (we take credit for spoiling each one--and we're proud of it!!) We also take time for some fun activities such as boating, camping, biking, and hunting.

We are also involved in educating the urban community on the values and importance of agriculture and the constant stewardship of the American farmer.
