Joanne Niswander

Where were you born and where did you grow up?

I was born, and grew up, on a farm in central Illinois, just outside the tiny town of Meadows. If you've ever driven across Illinois on US Route 24, you've driven right past my home. It's in amongst all the corn, soybean and oats fields. By the time I was born, our house had electricity, a bathroom, and running water. Some of my friends were not so fortunate.
