It was Marilyn who helped me start my career in education and coaching. After graduating I was working for the All Pro Football School, which at the time was a summer program at Carleton. I still remember Marilyn running down to practice to inform me that she had set up an interview for me at. Riverdale HS, in Muscoda, Wi. She also told me to get my hair cut. It did the trick! I was hired as a Social Studies and Spanish instructor as well as head football and track coach. Well I taught and coached at the High School level for 20years and was fortunate enough to teach and coach at Carleton for 24 years. Thanks to Marilyn for getting me started on a wonderful career!l
