She can see the Space Needle from her bathroom window...15 minutes with Hannah Schumacher

Posted by Mary Pannabecke... on December 2, 2013 - 7:03pm

Is it true that you can see the Space Needle from the bathroom in your house? How does that compare to what you saw out the bathroom of your house on the rural Pandora farm where you grew up?

Yes! I can see the Space Needle from my bathroom window! Although a beautiful site, I am partial to the pond and pine trees I viewed from my Pandora farm.

You graduated from PGHS when? How did you choose to attend Anderson (IN) University? What was your major? What kind of extracurricular activities were you involved in?
