I was raised in Albertville and was educated by the wonderful Notre Dame sisters. My dad managed the J.F. Anderson Lumber Company in Albertville and when I was 13 he was transferred to Spirit Lake, Iowa. I graduated from Spirit Lake, went to college, became a teacher, married, and had 4 daughters who were raised in Spirit Lake. I taught 5th Grade in Spirit Lake for 31 years and when I retired, we wanted to move closer to one of our daughers. Two of them are in Texas, one in southeast Iowa, and one in Minneapolis. I always had a soft spot for Albertville so we decided to move this direction. St. Albert's was one of my great memories of Albertville and it did not disappoint me when we moved here. We have a fabulous church with many fun and spirit activities for all ages. I hope I help keep St. Albert's an important part of this community and in all it's members lives.
