Nancy Krueger

I was born, raised, educated - RHS Class of 1969 / Bemidji State U Class of 1973), taught school & coached in Minnesota. I grew up participating in sports & outdoor adventures & loving both.

My careers began in Aurora-Hoyt Lakes MN for my first 3 years as a Physical Education Teacher and Head Coach of Girls Gymnastics and Track & Field followed by one year in the state of WA while I studied and earned a Master�s Degree in Physical Education.

Then, I worked for 2 years in WI at the UW-LaCrosse as Head Coach of the Women�s Indoor & Outdoor Track & Field programs. That was followed by 21 years in NH / 13 years as Head Coach of Division 1 Women�s Cross Country Running & Indoor and Outdoor Track Field programs. Retired in 1992 from Athletic Coaching. The next 11 years were working various jobs in VT.

December of 2011,I returned to my home state of Minnesota where I live now in Hoyt Lakes � where my life careers all began. �Roots & Wings� (Photography) came from my Mom & Dad. Thank you for life, love & adventure and a place called home.

I enjoyed that 19 year career as a Physical Education Instructor and a highly successful Head Coach of Women�s Track & Field which included 13 years as an equally successful Cross Country Running Head Coach. While still living in NH, I worked for 2 years as a Professional Girl Scout.

Other work; for 9 summers I worked in outdoor camp programs in the states of MN, NH, MA, and, in OH as a resident Camp Director. I worked 2 � years in the food service industry.

In VT I worked 6 � years in the corporate home office of an insurance company. Then, 4 years as a temp employee for the State of Vermont (1 year Fish & Wildlife/ 3 years Tax Dept.).

In 1994, I created and continue to grow my own small photography business: "Roots and Wings: aka Nancy L Krueger Photography

At the age of 11, I took my first outdoor snapshots in Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks and the Black Hills with a little green box Girl Scout �Brownie� camera while on a family camping vacation. Since that time, all of my personal and work experiences have included my camera. The camera and lens have been my link to my place in the world; expressing and sharing my spirit of adventure, heart and soul. I use the camera to expose, not just film, but my true and authentic self. I am adept at capturing moments rather than poses. I have an eye for seeing the extraordinary in ordinary. That is the essence of my photography -------�To seek and discover the extraordinary in the ordinary�.

Currently, I am still a seasonal Graduation Photographer for Grad Images, sell my Nature Photographs at a few Craft Fairs and produce some Power Point Musical Photo Shows for non-profits and churches. Also, after 35 years, I began training and participating in Sprint Triathlons again! You go girl!
In winter I am a volunteer course marshall at Giants Ridge for the HS Nordic Races and I am (since 2012) the Secretary/Treasuer for the Hibbing Lodge of the Degree of Honor. I also tent camp & winter cabin camp 5-6/year and have 4 rescue cats. Retirement has been nice and blessed.

This year is also the 50th year Celebration of Girls & Women in Sports (Title IX) and Bemidji State is hosting a grand celebration in August.
