Family

My husband Matt retired from the Iowa Army National Guard with 34 years of military service. Here he is with 2 of his favorite things: our 1974 red Jeep and his yellow lab, General.

I served in the Marine Corps as a Supply Officer and was stationed out in 29 Palms, California during the 1970's. I met my husband Matt in the Marines.

Here I am with my parents Dwight and Sally Puttmann on the day in the spring of 1977 when I was commissioned an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps.

At about 15 years of age on my parents' farm in northwest Iowa, I am cultivating corn on our John Deere 3010.

My sister and I (in the red) stand outside our old farmhouse with our family dog, a St. Bernard named Tiny. Photo taken in 1968.
