A cook – a nanny – a secretary, Judy Thompson has done all of these things during her lifetime. It was a pleasure to visit with Judy. I learned that she and her husband, David, will be celebrating their 27th anniversary this New Year’s Eve. They live in Gilmore City. Together they have five grown children. David has one son, Steve Thompson who lives in Dakota City. Her children are Dave Claman of Boise, ID, Janice Gafford and Don Claman, both of Gilmore City, and Deb Schnetter of Pocahontas. They are grandparents to nine grandchildren and the proud great-grandparents of 14 great-grandchildren. Judy grew up in Fort Dodge and graduated from Fort Dodge High School. Her husband, David, grew up in Chorley, England, graduated in Chorley, England and came to the United States in 1967. Judy says when our warm weather comes back she plans on walking and exercising. She also enjoys going to casinos. She said they don’t go often and only sometimes they are lucky at their game.
