"One of my favorite sayings is, "Life happens while you're planning on doing something else," although, it seems to me that I have lived most of my 95 years without much planning.

I think I was born with a positive outlook, and have been able to look on the bright side for nearly a century." So begins the remarkable life story of Frances Ulrich Genung, a PK...
More Description"One of my favorite sayings is, "Life happens while you're planning on doing something else," although, it seems to me that I have lived most of my 95 years without much planning. With or without it, I have experienced happiness and satisfaction, along with challenges and losses, but I have no real regrets. I think I was born with a positive outlook, and have been able to look on the bright side for nearly a century." So begins the remarkable life story of Frances Ulrich Genung, a PK (preacher's kid) who eventually became a preacher's wife, mother of four, school teacher of hundreds, and kind hand and heart to thousands over the course of her long life. She's a healthy 96 at the time of this publication, and is still exerting a positive influence on those around her.Service to one's church, community and family is a core theme running through Frances' life; and like so many of her generation, the chapters in her personal story coincide with some of the most notable historical events of the 1900's. The memories and thoughts she articulately shares make for an entertaining, inspiring read, and provide an insightful look into how outside events influence one's life.
