Aurea Anglin — learning to teach

IBv MARK HUFFMAN Staff Writer Ever since her inaugural steps on Americansoil in 1975 Aurea Anglin has been going to schools to learn — now she’s ready to teach. “I feel like I’ve been going to school ever since I got here (Indiana), I just want to enjoy life from now on,” says the 26-year-old native of Guerrero, Mexico. Profile However, Anglin will have to put that “enjoyment” on hold for another six months, as she plans to return to Goshen College in January to complete requirements for a bachelor’s degree in elementary education after having had a taste of, the profession this fall. A student-teacher at Milford Elementary School, Anglin helps Diane Carmichael teach first graders (having taken over full time duties four weeks ago) and will remain in that capacity until November 14. Anglin originally attended Ball State University for three years before taking a IM? year stint as a teacher’s aid in Milford. “Initially I went to college to become a high school teacher, but after those three years at BSUI just didn’t think I’d feel right at a high school,” she says, adding, “Ned Speicher (then a principal at Milford School and currently principal at Wawasee High School) talked me into going back to college to become an elementary teacher, and with his help and the help of several other teachers — here I am.” S . - ■ ■

Flexsteel story presented to the local Kiwanis

Ronnie Nash, general manager of Flexsteel, New Paris, spoke to the Milford Kiwanis Club Friday morning, Oct. 24. The company started in 1893 and was called The Graw Curtis Co., Nash stated. Not until 1948 did the company become known as Flexsteel. “The company is in the seating business,” Nash further stated. “We make home furniture, vehicle seating, and commercial seating. (Commercial seating being chairs and seating in motel lobbies, etc.) We made seats for General Motors in 1969 and have been in the commercial business since 1984.” Before becoming general manager at the New Paris plant, Nash was manager of Product Development in Dubuque, lowa.

English Was Foreign Eleven years ago the Nappanee resident never imagined she’d be admitting such aspirations, living in Sullivan (Ind.) as a frightened 14-year-old who knew nothing of the English language. “My father had worked in different states throughout the U.S. all his life and in 1975 he decided to bring the whole family to this country to live after getting a job at an orchard, ” Anglin says. Shortly after moving to Sullivan, the family of eight pulled up stakes again when Anglin’s father secured a job in New Paris. “We moved to Milford and I enrolled at Wawasee High School,” Anglin says, remembering the harsh introduction into the American school system. “I was afraid because I never knew what was going to happen, I worried about such simple things as getting on the right bus,” she admits. The transition gradually became easier as she learned English and five years later she entered college. “It (school) was a good but hard experience, I think I’ve been through the rough part of my life.” That “rough part” included taking€Xamslast May to officially become an American citizen, a hurdle she passed September 11. “I love the U.S. and I love Indiana, I wouldn’t go back to Mexico for anything, except maybe to visit,” the American says. However, the student-teacher’s childhood has also helped her to show others the importance of education, an aspect she hopes to instill in elementary children’s’ minds. “Being from another country can work to my advantage, I can let the children know how other people live and help them realize how lucky they are to be able to go to school,” she says of the lesson plan she lived through. A wife of Nappanee native Bill Anglin Jr., whom she met while working at a factory, Anglin may have already taught more than many people will learn.

It is a book for “obsolete children,” who have reached the unhappy point when their parts start going bum.

The fabrics are all cut on computerized machines. They have their own woodworking plants with oak being used the most. “By making most of our own products, we can better control our quality,” Nash added “We started in New Paris in 1982. We wanted to get closer to the RV industry. We have 200-210 employees at our New Paris plant and some 10 percent of these live in Milford.” He continued that the plant runs two shifts, has over 150,000 square feet under roof.
