In 1980, she received a certificate in children’s literature and wrote a book of short stores and a manuscript. In 1966, she married a schoolteacher who had contracted three strains of polio, which left him a quadriplegic. He passed away in 2005. During those forty years, she was an instructor at a business college. When she retired, she opened her home to foster care for elders and handicapped people. In 2010, she married Bill Rasmussen, who had lost his hands in 1971. They are now entertaining the seniors throughout the Northwest. He plays the keyboard, and she sings and does ventriloquist skits. They are now building a home on a mountain near Plummer, Idaho.ver menos
