My parents were Maurice and Edith Kreamer. I was a twin born in Hampton,
  Iowa, February 19. 1943. My parents lived on a farm. I attended grades
  first through third at Popejoy, Iowa. In 1952 my dad bought a farm near
  Alberta, Minnesota where I finished grade school and high school. I graduated
  from high school in 1961 and attended college in Greenville, South Carolina.
  I taught school one year in Waterloo, Iowa before attending Mankato State
  College where I recieved by B.S. Degree in Elementary Education. My twin
  sister and I moved to Casper, Wyoming where we taught school. It was here
  that I met and married Richard M. Strong on November 26, 1969.  Richard
  had three girls whom I loved and raised as my own. The girls belonged to the
  girl scouts, which at that time needed a leader. This I became. I quit
  teaching in Casper, Wyoming in December of 1971, when we moved to Hobbs, New
  Mexico. I started working on my Master's Degree at Eastern New Mexico University
  at Portales, New Mexico in January, 1972. I drove 110 miles, one way trip,
  every day for the spring semester and again for summer school. In the fall of
  1972, I started teaching in Hobbs, New Mexico and continued to drive to night
  school. I went to summer school and obtained my Master of Education Degree
  in August, 1973. I joined Bethany Chapter No. #56, Order of the Eastern Star,
  in Hobbs, New Mexico and was on the Rainbow Advisory Board along with being
  the mother advisor of Hobbs Assembly No. #15, Order of Rainbow for Girls. I 
  continued teaching in Hobbs until we moved to Medicine Lodge, Kansas in 1976.
  Since moving to Medicine Lodge I have been actively engaged in our Appliance 
  Store along with doing some substitute teaching in the high school.
