History of the Winneshiek's:
The Kids


Last update: November 21, 2009


I have two children, Melissa Winneshiek Brink, and William Derek Winneshiek.
Melissa graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville May 1999.

We have two new additions to the Winneshiek's! Melissa's husband, Mike Brink, and my grandson: Simon Phineaus Brink, arrived on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2009!!
