Esther Keimig Burkett, the daughter of George and Katie Keimig, 
     was born on a farm 6 miles southeast of Isabel. I attended grade school at
     Eldred, a country school south of Isabel. I graduated from Isabel High School 
     and attended Emporia State University. After attending college I taught rural 
     schools near Nashville (Bross) and Medicine Lodge. I then spent a winter in
     Salt Lake City, Utah working for United Airlines. I returned and taught schools
     in Norwich and Adams. While teaching in Norwich I met and married Dwight Burkett.
          Dwight is the son of Harry and Mabel Burkett. He grew up and attended
     the Norwich Schools. We have lived in Norwich since our marriage. We have 3 
     children, Sheila, Evan and Karen. All 3 attended the Norwich Grade and High
     schools and graduated from the University of Kansas. Sheila married Joseph
     Luckey, have a daughter, Shauna and a son Dane. They live in Seattle, Washington.
     Evan married Lynda Balman, have a daughter, Shara, and a son Cade. They live
     near Norwich. Karen married Oren Simion, have a son, Earl, and a daughter,
     Annie. They live at Lawrence, Kansas.
          Dwight and I are both retired from Cessna Aircraft, Wichita. I have
     many happy memories of harvesting, school picnics, "programs", baseball and 
     basketball garms, church dinners, and many school events.
