I was raised on a farm in Sarles, ND.  I attended the University of ND and married Edmond (Butch) Schuler while he was serving the army.  I helped work on the farm we purchased in Munich and operated 2 different small business’s during the 15 years before we moved to Grand Forks, ND.  The last 20 years of my career, I was the director of a non-profit and learned how important that business sector is to our communities. I have a very strong connection to our military veterans. My father was a B29 pilot in the Army Air Force during WWII.  My husband served in the Army in the Viet Nam War.  My son served in the Marine Corp during Desert Storm.  My grandson served in the Marine Corp. and son-in law served in the Coast Guard.  In addition, many uncles and cousins have served our country in various branches of the service.  I feel it is important to provide support to any veteran who has contributed to the safety of our country whenever they have a need.
