The finishing touch of a full day of the formalities of swearing in Iowa's 40th Governor was the evening at the Inaugural Ball. As an Honorary Colonel, I was a part of the "Grand March". We each had our name announced when we walked across the stage. Here I am waiting my turn!
We all had fun fussing for weeks as to what we would wear to the Inaugural Ball. Here I am pictured with my pals from back home, Kim Kazmierczak (on left) my school principal at Carter Lake Elementary and Cookie Clapper (on the right) our Intermediate Behavior Disorder teacher at Carter Lake Elementary.
Joining us at our table are Team ISEA leaders from Dubuque; Tammy Duehr (on the left), Dubuque EA president and 1st grade teacher and Kathy Stangland (on the right), Dubuque EA Grievance Chair and 2nd grade teacher.
Administrative Lobbyist Brad Hudson and his wife Becky connected with Team ISEA members during the evening's activities.
Joining us at our table were Team ISEA Vice President Chris Bern (on the left), High School Math teacher in Knoxville; NEA Director Jim Young, 4th grade teacher at Hansen Elementary in Cedar Falls; and Team ISEA Communications Director Lana Oppenheim (on the right).

Culver are (from left to right) Fred Stark, retired teacher from Washington; David Rosheim (spouse of Roberta); Kathy Williams, Middle School teacher from Davenport and Chair of ISEA's Multicultural Commitee; and Roberta Rosheim, elementary teacher at Briggs Elementary in Maquoketa.

And as the day long of fun and festivities comes to a close, Team ISEA leaders put on their winter coats to head out into the frigid Iowa winter.
