Betty Francsalsky Ziegler (Broadview Hts, OH) Biggest accomplishment is our family. .It has certainly expanded. Dan Ziegler and Betty have three children. Two beautiful girls and one handsome son and of course their 11 grandchildren. This in itself keeps their life full but they still manage to have time to keep up our varied circle of friends.

One of the most difficult things for me now is: as her 11 Grandchildren age how does she keep explaining that she still is only going to be 59 year after year now?

Semi retired now and wondering how she ever fit a full time job in. Dan thinks he has it rough now just wait till she fully retires. My biggest job is thinking of all the things for him to do. Bet you never thought he would become famous. Dan will go down in the medical history books for all he has survived. Things are a bit more difficult for him now but he does keep his sense of humor.

Overheard him the other evening telling a friend how it now takes him three weeks to do a job that would have taken him three hours and how every day can be a new adventure with his short term memory problems…….oh but that long term memory is fantastic!! This has given them the opportunity to really appreciate each other more (on occasion). They both enjoy travel, Dan more than Betty. Bet she could enjoy it more if he did the packing, planning, shopping and all the good stuff instead of just loading the car or cab…….They share the gardening …She thinks about how and he does the work.  She does the planning…..If it was up to him you would just see a lot with a zillion trees and a bazillion flowers. Life here is good and filled with much love…. most of the time.
They are really looking forward to seeing all of you at our upcoming **20th** (remember the grandkids) reunion.

A really neat personal memory was when walking the halls Betty turned too Jan Hornback Steiger and said No! They have been close enough at times to know what the other was thinking. (NOT telling what it was though).
