Label TextBorel (’78 family environment) worked as a social worker in various roles for the welfare system and then with private agencies. That all changed when Marcia and her husband, Jim (’78 agricultural business) set off on an odyssey around the world with Jim's company, DuPont. Moving nine times in 20 years, raising two children and creating a life for the family — including three international assignments — shaped Marcia's life and beautiful adventure. Marcia and Jim now live in West Chester, Pennsylvania and Johnston, Iowa. The Borels are active supporters of ISU and have a great love of art recently funding the creation of the painting, Do you Know What’s Inside This Flower? George Washington Carver Mentors a Young Henry A. Wallace by Rose Frantzen, which hangs in Curtiss Hall on the Iowa State campus.
