Because of my experiences, I detest all things pork, but still love to eat a good steak. My daughter and I still spend many weekends on the farm, helping with the cattle and riding our horses. My parents recently purchased nine pigs as a &#8220;project&#8221; for the grandchildren and to traumatize their daughters. <\/p>\n<p><LI>I was the 1995 Rodeo Queen of the Woodbine, Iowa, rodeo. It was a great experience, and yes, I still have my tiara. <\/p>\n<p><LI>I went to school at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, where I worked for both the Iowa football team (Go Hawks!) and bartended at the Biggest Bar in the Big Ten. While bartending, I met Tom Arnold (excellent tipper) and knew Ashton Kutcher (big dork) before he was famous.<\/p>\n<p><LI>I just got back from vacation in Vail, Colo., where we managed to hike to the top of Vail Mountain &#8212; all six-plus miles of it. <\/UL><\/p>\n<p>Read UNMC Today next Thursday to see who is featured in the next Lookin&#8217; at U article.
