So, as you are all aware, I like to check out the news from the Decatur Daily Democrat. This picture was on the front webpage. The caption insinuated that this was the means of transportation for some Bellmont High School student. I always joked that kids in my home town drove tractors to school, now it looks to be true.
Second, the paper also discussed that the Democratic Party had announced 4 nominees for candidates for office in the fall. One of the nominees graduated from high school with Margie. I was curious who this person was, so I wanted Margie to use her skills to figure this out for me. Here is the part of the article that talks about this BHS grad.
"The newcomer, selected to run for clerk-treasurer in Monroe, is Rachel Burkhart, 27, who is married to Kris Burkhart and is the daughter-in-law of Democratic Monroe Town Council member Debra Burkhart...Rachel Burkhart is a 1996 graduate of Bellmont High School whose work experience includes two years at Wells Fargo Bank in Decatur and the past five years at the American General Finance office in Decatur. She announced that, if elected, she will quit her current job and be a fulltime clerk-treasurer, adding that she will also be able spend more time with her children: nine-year-old son Alex and seven-week-old daughter Jordan. Burkhart's husband is a fulltime paramedic with the Adams County Emergency Medical Service as well as a member of the Monroe Fire Department and the Monroe Rescue Squad. Her father-in-law, Gary Burkhart, is a longtime deputy and detective with the Adams County Sheriff's Department."
Any clues Margie?
Finally, I'm just glad that picture of meat is no longer on the front page...yucky meat!

Rachel Ellenberger. 27 yrs. old is a stretch, though. I'm 29 and was rather young for a 1996 graduate.
Anywho. She was dating that Kris Buckhart in high school. Debra Buckhart was the kindergarten teacher at Southeast. You remember, dating Mr. Giesler. She had a son mt age who went to AC.
Rachel got pregnant after high school and I believe they got married somewhere there after.
I don't think she was at the 10 yr reunion but I am sure would make a might fine treasurer-clerk for the booming metroplois of Monore.
I'm curious, though, why this new gig would give more time at home? Is it less work that a regular job?
Miss you

Thanks Margie! I seem to remember Rachel Ellenberger as a girl with a very bad perm. For the sake of the people of Berne, I hope she no longer has the perm
No. No perm. She was rather moody, though and I seem to recall she liked to yell at people.
I wonder how big the operating budget is for Monroe?
I just googled it and learned there are only 734 people that live there. (96.2% are white) Median age is 35.2 years and median income is $43,500.
its going to take her 30 minutes to figure out how to spend monroe's 100 dollars a week.
