As the life stories unfolded I began to take notice. Ten were in the educational field, Four PhD's, Three heads of departments in Universities, one a project director in a Medical research Lab, three RNs, one of them a head nurse in a hospital; two in the educational field, were directors of private schools, one in Florida and the other in Oregon; an Environmental Engineer for the city of Denver, a CPA with a firm of accountants in Portland, Oregon. There were Successful business men from Colorado, Oregon, Texas and Nebraska. Most of the parents were active in community projects, City Council, School Boards, Scouts, Churches. Thirty percent of those now working were in some form of Social Services. Among those retired were teachers and nurses.
One evening was spent singing. The pianist was a professor of music in a University. You name it, he played it.
The reunion came to an end after lunch on the third day. How do you say good bye? With lots of tears and hugs, and a vow to stay in touch.
The ethical values and principles of FRANK & NETTIE PIELSTICK had made their mark on future generations. I considered that I had done quite well when I married into Verna's family [sic]
