Word on the street - Aug. 20, 2009

What did you want to be when you grew up?

Kevin Jacobsen, Cul de Sac, Idaho

I really don’t remember what I wanted to be.

What are you now?

Construction. Carpenter.

Stephanie Bryan, LaCrosse

I wanted to be a veterinarian. It didn’t work out. I blame the teachers (said with a laugh).

I ended up getting a bachelor’s in psychology. Hopefully one of these days I’ll get my masters.

J.R. Staves, Endicott

A fireman.

And what happened?

I decided [working] produce was better. Safer.

Patrick Thompson, Colfax

Not really sure. Just a well-rounded individual.

Do you feel you are there now?

So far. Still working on it.

Lorraine Salzman, Endicott

Just a wife and a mother.

Has this come true for you.

Yes.

How many kids?

Two kids. 19 and 20.
