What have you been doing since graduation?

Bonna Acker PerrinI have a Bachelar of Arts degree in Accounting and Finance. Worked The Upjohn Compay (then named Parmacia and Upjohn and then bought out by Pfizer) for 28 years retiring when I turned 55. Started by own Small Business Accounting firm and turned that over to my daughter-in-law Darla last year. Jerry and I have been traveling the U.S. For the last 12 years in our RV. Only state I have not seen is Aladka and is currently on my bucket list. We spend our summers in South Haven with the RV at Cousins Campground. Jerry loves to farm but since we travel so much he has to rent out the flat ground although we continue to live on the farm!
