| REBECCA HOLMQUIST - FINANCIAL SECRETARY |
|
I have been a lifelong Lutheran. I grew up in Richmond, Indiana and
was baptised, took first communion, was confirmed and married at First
English Lutheran Church. Chad and I have lived in Indianapolis,
Fishers, Brownsburg and now Muncie, Indiana. I was given a great
opportunity to work for Minnetrista, and Chad and I moved to Muncie.
Happily, we call it home.
I have always wanted to work for a zoo or museum, and have been
fortunate to be working at my 4th cultural institution. I share in all
the joys of work and life with Chad, my two dogs Mia and Sealy, and our
cat Blizzard.
