David Michael Burrow

David Burrow is single, though he says he is always looking. In many ways, he says, his family is the students he teaches. His "real" family, however, includes a sister and three brothers.

Margaret, the oldest, was the very first graduate from a special honors college (Justin Morrill College) at Michigan State University. Recently she received her master's degree from Viterbo College in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. She is a widow who lives in Decorah, Iowa, and she teaches Spanish in nearby Cresco. She has a step-son named Paul, and she is proud of her grandchildren.

John received his B.A. from Iowa Wesleyan College in Mt. Pleasant. He works as an English teacher in Andrew, Iowa and is retiring in 2009. He is married to Janet, who managed a travel agency for many years and now is an executive secretary. The two of them live in Maquoketa, but have traveled throughout the world. They enjoy fine dining, fitness, and participating in community theatre.

Paul has bachelor's and master's degrees from Drake University. He teaches Spanish and history in Oskaloosa, Iowa and also works as a certified United Methodist minister, serving a small-town English-speaking congregation as well as a Spanish-speaking congregation within the large Oskaloosa church. He is married to Nancy, a special education instructor. Their children, Rachel and Timothy, are in college.

Steve is a graduate of Luther College. He used to teach science and social studies in Gallup, New Mexico, but he returned to the Midwest in 1998. He is now in northern Minnesota. His daughters Hannah and Michelle live in New Mexico, and son Chris is in northeast Iowa. Sadly his son Josh chose to take his own life in 2003.

The background music on this page is Queen's ballad "Let Us Cling Together (Teo Torriate)". The title seems to reflect the closeness of the Burrow's family relationship.
