The Wisconsin Club is a great way to meet others who hail from Wisconsin. The club has grown to the point where there are now three chapters. For more info see the Recreation News section of the DailySun.

You should join the Wisconsin Club! There are 3 of them here in The Villages. Also in The Villages phone book (think it's in the back) you will see all the states listed with the folks who came here from that particular state. Wisconsin has 3 pages...so there's a slew of them here!!!

Student Teaching
 
I did my student teaching at Beaver Dam High School in 1973. Taught under Mrs. Possin the chemistry teacher. We lived in married student housing (Eagle Heights) in Madison and I drove to Beaver Dam for a semester through snow and rain in a two door Pinto. There was a gas war going on and we could fill the car for 25 cents per gallon. A long time ago.

ljarnold 05-28-2014 09:57 PM

We are from Hartland area. Only part timers for now. Really enjoy our time in The Villages whenever we can come down.
