April 24, 2015, is a day that Donald and Edna Nadler won’t soon forget. Spring was in the air, and the husband and wife duo were in their familiar place, outside working in the yard and by the lake. Lifelong Lake Winnebago residents, Don, 83, and Edna, 81, have enjoyed living the lake life. Whether it be maintaining their own yard (Edna cuts the grass and Don does the trimming), working in their big garden, or sturgeon spearing, with each having their own ice shack, they simply enjoy every part of lake living.

When Danielle Greve began working in oncology nursing, she says her career actually chose her. “My husband is a physical therapist and we were both looking for jobs at the same time,” she remembers. “He received a job offer from Community Health Network, and I noticed they had an opening for an oncology nurse.
