Lynn: Miamisburg was such a great place to raise a family!   We were blessed to live close to both sets of our parents and other family members, who enriched our family’s lives immeasurably.  Stephanie got to know and love her Great-grandmother Schultz, and all four children spent fun times with their Grandparents Zink.  Many Sunday afternoons, Grandma and Grandpa Zink would come to the house to visit.  What great memories!

Steve:  Our house on North Eighth Street did not have air conditioning and neither did our automobiles.  So window fans in the upstairs rooms were used to exhaust all of the hot air from the house.  Hot summer evenings were often spent taking drives in the car using 4-60 air-conditioning (driving 60 MPH with all of the windows down).  These usually included stops at the Dairy Queen.  One year we were selected as Dairy Queen Family of the year and were awarded a large ice cream cake.

Lynn:  Being a family of six, our vacation funds were limited. However, we did eventually manage to purchase a family-size tent and necessary camping equipment.  This turned out to be one of the best things we could have done!  Each year we would head to Cowan Lake State Park for a week in the great outdoors fishing, walking the trails and swimming.  Occasionally we took longer camping trips with other family members.  Thanks to Mom and Dad Schultz, our family also got to enjoy time at Lakeside, Ohio, where Steve and I had often vacationed with our families as youngsters.
