 The likenesses on these bronze statues to the pictures I remembered
were almost eerie...in Little Rock.

 Sitting in Elvis' booth at the Arcade Restaurant in Memphis...the owners had painted a big Arcade sign on the mirror on the back wall so fans could not see Elvis sitting in the booth eating his favorite banana/peanut butter sandwich.

I am very fortunate to be working very flexible hours as a bookkeeper, about 25 to 35 hours per week as needed, with a friend from my church

Dave & Betty Wettstein

After getting a degree in Mathematics, I taught for a couple years in Minnesota before heading west to teach college in Oregon and Washington. In 1985 we left the US to teach overseas in private schools in the countries of Turkey, Egypt, Aruba, England and Indonesia.  We retired on our return to the US where we spent our time snow skiing, biking, fishing and traveling. 

We recently bought an old resort on Pelican Lake near Ashby and have been busy remodeling, where we spend our summers.  Our winter home is Palm Springs, California.

Cheering you on ...

My favorite hobby--dancing with Darold Grimm.

I have been retired for 5 years.  Worked at Trevilla of New Brighton for 31 years.  Worked in laundry and housekeeping.  I still do some housecleaning jobs with my daughter-in-law.  Have been making all my own greeting cards and doing some crocheting.  In the summer we do a lot of canning fruits and vegetables.  We go dancing on weekends.  Attend a few Polka Fests – Ellsworth, Wisconsin – Duncan, Iowa – Stump Lake, North Dakota and a few other ones throughout the year.

We plant a small garden every year.  I have flower gardens to take care of in my yard.    Also have many plants in my house, 20 + violets and many other assorted plants.

Darold is kept busy all summer.  He refinishes furniture and is quite a handyman around the house.  Can’t forget he is a great dancer.  We are kept busy and enjoy retirement.
