We're seeing double!
Former Wade House interpreter Ainsley Schwalbe poses by our new billboard, where she is also featured, on Highway 57 northbound in Plymouth.
Since spending two of her summers at the Wade House, Ainsley has finished her Engineering Mechanics: Aerospace degree at the University of Wisconsin Madison and will begin training to become an air traffic controller in October. Although she no longer gets to wear petticoats and feed the Wade House chickens, she is still incredibly grateful for the time she spent working there.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication to Wade House, Ainsley. We wish you the best on your new journey! ... See MoreSee Less
