Michelle E Kaiser

I am a city girl from Kansas City, KS. I married my high school sweetheart, Jim Kaiser, in September of 1971. We travelled around the United States with our two kids in tow during Jim's 20-year Navy career and his 24-year American Airlines career. In 2002 we made a surprising move and bought a ranch in Cross Plains, Texas, and named it Rock Chalk Ranch after our favorite University of Kansas Jayhawks (and Jim's alma mater).  We built a log home and I retired there while Jim continued at American until 2015.

I volunteer 60-80 hours each month at our local library as board treasurer, grant writer, book reviewer, and publicity chair. We have a lot of fun there and have created programs for children and adults to get through the COVID-19 pandemic. ​I am also a ten-year cancer survivor and thank God for each day that I am still on this earth. Maybe I am here so that I can tell Special Ed's story and impact the lives of future generations.
