She must have been one of the last classes as she married in 1959 and had just graduated. Her name was Delores Dietzel, now Gouge. She was the first person to take nursing classes at the same time as she did her alternative service. She said she did it, but she wouldn't recommend doing both at the same time for anyone else because you had no outside life. I am interested in hearing more from Maude Swartzendruber or her family. I was born in Newton KS at the Bethel Deaconess Hospital and one of my mother's cousins is a Swartzendruber that lives in Pigeon, MI.
