Inspire, Summer 2010

overheard From the mundane to the wacky, summer jobs provided great memories, good friends, hands-on experience … and more than a few laughs. One summer I played the clarinet in a German band at Kings Island Amusement Park. I wore a German costume, and the guys in the band wore lederhosen while we played a lot of German polkas, including the Chicken Dance. And whenever we wanted, we could go on all the rides for free! LORI KATE LOWENHAR ’94, KIRYAT TIVON, ISRAEL I sold Bibles and children’s Bible story books door to door, working 90 hours a week. This profitable adventure paid my way through college , taking me to Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Texas. Oh, the stories I could tell! BOB ROHM ’68, CEDARVILLE, OHIO While serving at a Christian camp, God showed me how much I enjoyed ministering to children. I changed my major to prepare for full-time ministry, and 11 years later, I’m still working for that same camp .
