Every client spotlight is special, but this edition features none other than Dave’s mom, Alice Hunt. Born in Minneapolis in 1937, Alice enjoyed the cold winters as a child. She fondly remembers ice skating with her older brother and sister on a nearby frozen pond. Alice’s mother stayed at home while her father worked in a WWII munitions plant. They had a comfortable upbringing, and she eventually attended Lutheran Bible College in Minneapolis. Upon graduation, she left Minnesota for a job in Illinois as a church secretary and youth worker. She planned youth events for eighty kids, which kept her very busy. At this church, she met her future husband, Bob. He was a farmer, and she was a city girl. As they say, opposites attract!
