She also played at the Illinois Monument at Shiloh and placed flowers on the grave of her great grand uncle at the National Cemetery in Corinth, Mississippi. Sara still resides in Bloomington-Normal and plays regularly with the Community Concert Band and the 33rd Illinois Volunteer Regiment Band.

THANK YOU for continuing to make Illinois Wesleyan one of your giving priorities. It is YOUR support that makes IWU a truly transformative place for young people.
I retired as a building secretary from Sparta Area Schools on November 30, 2013 after 22 plus years. It was a great run. Great staff, students and families. Now on to a new chapter!
