Bruce and Ida Domazlicky grew up in Illinois, completed graduate degrees at the University of Wyoming, then taught in Nebraska, Illinois and Missouri. Ida retired in 2008 after teaching a variety of students, including preschool, emotionally disturbed, home-bound, and hearing impaired. Bruce retired in 2013 as professor of economics and director of the Center for Economic and Business Research at Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau. They moved to Sequim in January 2019 after many trips to visit their son, Eric, and daughter-in-law, Heather, in Tacoma. They make frequent trips to visit their daughter, Rebecca, her husband, Shannon, and their three grandchildren in the Missouri Ozarks. Both love traveling. Ida has visited 10 countries, and Bruce has been to most of the 50 U.S. states. Bruce is a short-wave ham radio operator and an avid reader of history. Ida is a birdwatcher, gardener, and amateur naturalist. Both hike and bird daily as they enjoy exploring the Olympic Peninsula. They love playing with QUUF’s folk music group – Bruce on marimbula and Ida on hammered dulcimer. They will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary in June 2020 with as much partying as is allowed.
