Mary pictured here with Princess Kay of the Milky Way Barbra Jean Bianchi as well as Regional Dairy Princess Lisa Lax (from Brown County).
Parades were some of Mary's favorite events during the summer!
Mary, here is in the Essig Centennial Parade, where they (Mary & co-princess Cheryl Marti) were fortunate enough to get a lift from a car, since their car never showed up for the parade!
Mary B. Windschitl Eckstein, 1985
Parents: Alvin & Theresa Windschitl, New Ulm
Currently: New Ulm MN
Mary’s favorite promotion/memory was “getting to know co-princess Cheryl Marti, and definitely the parades, especially the Essig Centennial parade when our pre-arranged car didn’t show up and we got to ride on the running boards of an antique car!” Mary currently is a homemaker in New Ulm, with six children; Heidi age 21 attends University of Notre Dame, Emily age 19 attends Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Stacy is 16 and attends Cathedral High School, Kelli age 14 will attend Cathedral High School, Olivia age 4 and Jeremy 1 year. Mary still has her crown and notes that her younger children enjoy hearing that Mom used to be a princess. To current princesses, Mary advises: “Keep in touch with your co-princesses and take lots of pictures because the memories fade too quickly!” Even though Mary isn’t in the dairy industry now, she still is involved with the agriculture industry. Mary is a CPA by profession, and has worked on financial statement audits and tax planning, preparation and reviews for many clients in the agriculture industry. Mary also shares that she enjoyed other events like promotion events at Dannheim’s Kuhstahl in New Ulm, KNUJ Moo-Off (Cheryl Marti was a judge), Randall Foods Dairy Days Coloring Contest (Mary was the judge), and Dairy Day at the Dome.
