Holly then moved to the Minot Vocational School for two years, beginning in 1971. In 1973, she moved to Fraser Hall (a sheltered workshop) in Fargo, where she worked at the Evaluation and Training (ETC) center for 8-9 years. Holly moved into her own apartment in Fargo in 1984 and worked in various capacities at Fraser workshop and vocational facilities. In July of 2001, Holly moved into an ISLA apartment through Red River Human Services Foundation. She began employment at the Developmental Work Activity Center (DWAC) and the Olive Garden Restaurant through the support of Friendship, Inc.

Friendship, Inc. took loving care of our sister and daughter for nineteen years and allowed her to live a free and wonderful life. Our entire family is very proud of Holly’s accomplishments, but they would not have been possible without the superb, attentive care provided by Friendship.
