20010-11 OCNA OFFICERS The following photos & narratives will introduce the new officers to you.   Amy Polzin – OCNA Secretary - 405-210-6867   amy.polzin@jacobswellec.org     My husband (Chris) and I both retired from the Air Force in 2008 (the same year we married).  He served 27 years and I was on active duty for 22.  We both retired as Senior Master Sergeants (E-8) and are in no hurry looking for new careers.  Chris is from Minneapolis and I am from Oshkosh, WI.  (Yes, it makes for interesting conversation when the Packers and Vikings play each other.)   We wanted to be as close to our families as possible, and the obvious choice was Eau Claire.  Chris has two sons, Jason (27) who lives in California, and Nic (20) who lives here with us.  I have three children.  Jonathon (19) is a sophomore at the University of Oklahoma, Michael (18) is a freshman at Chippewa Valley Technical College, and Erika (15) is a freshman at Memorial High School. We truly love it here, and feel so blessed to live in this beautiful neighborhood in such a wonderful home. Garnet Shong – OCNA Treasurer -  715-514-4402   garnet05charter.net My husband (Wally) and I moved into our Briarcrest location in August of 2008.  It took some time to recover from a move from Augusta where we had resided for 51 years!  That's a long time.   We owned and operated a drug store there and raised three (2 girls and 1 boy) children.  Life is Good!  We feel so blessed to have found this location in a wonderful neighborhood. I look forward to being the treasurer for OCNA and hope to fill Dan's shoes as Treasurer.   Monte Pederson  – OCNA Vice President - 715-832-0418   violetpederson@sbcglobal.net  My wife (Violet) and I moved into this neighborhood in December of 2002 and think its a really great place to live.  We have 2 grown children and 4 grandchildren that live in the Madison area.  I am retired from Chippewa Valley Technical College as an auto body and refinishing instructor.  Currently, I work 4-5 days a month as a field inventory rep for an information services company, doing inventory and collecting data on used vehicles.  My main hobby is fishing, both summer and ice fishing in winter.         Duane Berglund –  OCNA President - 715-839-8599     dberg581@aol.com We have lived in this wonderful neighborhood since May 2004 having moved to EC in 2004 from Las Vegas after 15 yrs.  Married  50+ yrs to Eileen with four children raised in the Milwaukee area-Gena-St. Paul (lawyer/mother of 3), Dr. Mike-Racine (chiropractor/father of 2), Beth-Kingston WA (chemical engineer), Pam-Seattle (master degreed studio artist/Mgr-Int'l Service Training at Adobe) (mother of 1). Our delightful grandkids (six in total) are the principle reason we moved back to Wis.  I started out as a farm boy in NE South Dakota with a twin brother who lives in Sheboygan . Graduated with a Mechanical Engineering degree from SD State U.  Retired in 2003 from a career that included engineer/computer exec with 26 yrs at Allis Chalmers and 12 years in a self employed Nevada computer consulting business. In the process I was founding president of three NV non-profit entities (two LV thrift stores and Lutheran Social Services of NV).   Hobbies include digital photography, scanning/editing old photos, web site creation, golfing, fishing, watching sports and of course using computers.
