Fifty years, wow how time flies. I am married to Larry Krause and we have two children. A daughter Deb and a son Doug. We have 7 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.

I have worked as treasurer of the Appleton Municipal Credit Union, also for Family Finance Co. of Appleton and the First National Bank of Appleton.

My husband has been retired since 1990, so we have been enjoying the leisure life since then. We enjoy being with family and friends, playing cards, going to casino's, flee and craft markets, rummage sales, camping and going up north to enjoy the wild life, 4-wheeling, working and relaxing, and hunting at our hide-a-way in the woods near Tomahawk, Wi. We love going on tours and driving in parades in our 1930 model "A" Ford. I also enjoy being a member of The Red Hatters, knitting, and making fleece tie blankets.

We have traveled to Branson Missouri, Florida, Arizona, Las Vegas Nevada, California, Mexico, and states in between.

I am the treasurer of the 1960 Class Reunion Committee and have been since the 25th Class Reunion. I am looking forward to the 50th reunion and hope to see many of my classmates.
