This story was told to me by Cheryl's mother, Jan.  I am retelling it to the best of my memory. If someone has more to add or corrections, please share. (This is too funny)

  When Cheryl was just a toddler, she and her family had gone over to a family friends house. Her parents and the other adults were playing cards and realized that Cheryl was in the other room being really quiet. When they went to check on her, they had realized that she had climbed up on the top of their piano and had taken all of the fish out of the fish bowl. To their horror, the fish were laying on the piano, dead.

  When they asked Cheryl what had happened, Cheryl simply replied "I thwisthed their headth off"


The assumption was that she like hearing the little "pop" sound of the twisting necks.    

Cheryl was born in Grinnell, Iowa on July 3, 1951 to Wilma Janice (Jacobson) and Ray Jay Anderson.  She was the middle child of five. Her siblings are Gloria, Kent, Dennis and Scott.

Cheryl has five children, Tara, Curtis, Jonathan, Patricia and Kelly. 


She also has some awesome grandchildren, Danielle, Hannah, Shea, Brandon, Evan, and Cameron.
