Writing speeches continued to be an important part of my life. There was not one year from 8th grade
through high school that I did not write a campaign speech for student government. I always said that
my future was in government. When John Engler heard me speak in 1989, he asked if he could meet
with me to discuss my future in government. I choose raising children and am so glad that I did.
One speech did bring a trophy to dust in my old age. I competed in the 1973 Miss Teen Age
Michigan pagent. In my interview speech, they decided that I was the most excited about my leadership
positions. (It was the longest list) So my speech won the Miss Teen Age Leadership award.
