12/21/07 Women of the Year, Arnzen

About six miles outside of Cottonwood you'll find the farm and home of Harold and Jeanne Arnzen. Jeanne is very involved with Farm Bureau, in her community and church, volunteering her time, making rosaries and quilts too. ARNZEN "I went to the Catholic school here St Josephs and graduated from St Gertrude's Academy. I worked for the phone company in Montana and Arizona and then at Lewiston. Raised wheat and barley. We'd buy steers and feed them out. As a group the Altar Society at Green Creek started making rosaries. You just string them together with cord and it was something that I liked to do so I started doing it. When I'm making a rosary I think okay now if the person who uses this rosary if they remember the person that made the rosary just once that's still lot of people to say a little prayer for me and as far as the quilts I just like doing it. Everybody should have a blanket." Jeanne Arnzen, Idaho Farm Bureau District Five Woman of the Year. Voice of Idaho Agriculture Bill Scott
