Both women are residents of McHenry. McHenry residents Mrs. Florence G. Engdahl, 79, and her daughter, Mrs. Karen L. Pepping, both studied long and hard hours to become real estate salespeople. Recently they were notified that both passed the comprehensive A.C.T. Illinois Real Estate Salesperson's licensing exam. What made these women decide to achieve such an ambitious goal and how did they achieve it? Mrs. Pepping, an attractive mother, housewife and dental hygienist, decided one morning that she wanted something more out of life now that* her two sons, ages 21 and 19, were in college-and her youngest son, 16, was in high school. After much consideration, Karen decided to pursue a career in residential real estate sales. Her husband, Jack, who is a district manager for Illinois Bell, gave her his blessing. While discussing this am­ bition with her mother, Mrs. Engdahl, who lives several doors away from the Pepping residence, Karen and Mrs. Engdahl both decided that they would attend the Real Estate Education company 30-hour. Basic Real Estate Transactions course which began last June in Palatine. This course must be successfully completed before applicants are allowed to take the A.C.T. Illinois Real Estate Salesperson's licensing exam. When asked why she decided to enroll in the course, Mrs. Engdahl said, "I had a genuine interest in obtaining my salesperson's license, but I also didn't like the idea of my daughter driving from McHenry to Palatine on class nights all by herself. It's such a long drive!"

Their exam grades were either identical-or one or two points apart-throughout the entire course, but their grades are not the only things that were close. « How did Mrs. Engdahl's husband, Herbert M., who is retired agent of the Southern Ports Foreign Freight Com­ mission in Chicago, feel about her new real estate adventure? Mrs. Engdahl explained, "'Herbert supported me all of the way. In fact, our entire family encouraged and sup­ ported Karen and me. Each night after we've taken an exam, everyone in the house would gather round and ask how we did on the exam. Even my son, Herbert M., Jr., in Tacoma, Washington, and his entire family were absolutely thrilled that my daughter and I took this course." Mrs. Engdahl, the grand­ mother of six who will soon be celebrating her sixieth wedding anniversary in October, said. "Anyone can do what I did, but this is something you'll have to work hard for. You must do your homework!" m m More than 2,500 people toured the Gerald Carey bank building Sunday, Oct. 14 during open house. Above, the Rev.

"Money Is Readily Available" $ • Millions On The Move : More than 3.6 million existing homes will be sold this year, according to Yvonne Beer, executive officer of the McHenry County Board of Realtors. As a result, millions of people will be packing their belongings and moving to a new address. ^ She said that contrary to the ^predictions being made by the prophets of gloom and doom, money is readily available in the McHenry county housing marketing. The smart shopper is aware of the fact that interest rates are not likely to come down and that even if they did, the appreciation would readily wipe out any advantage in holding back for a lesser in­ terest rate. The median price of an existing home on a national basis in July was $57,000, up 18 percent frorfi July, 1978. "All of our experiences and data combine to bolster our contention that the real estate market is still the bedrock of our domestic economy", Beer said. "Not only is a home a useful investment, but from a pure dollars and cents stand- t point, it still ranks number one". V "We do not consider all of the talk of real estate being headed for a crash to be factural or • consistent with market in­ dicators. The American dream of property ownership won't easily be stifled by unreliable * predictions." The McHenry County Board of Realtors is an association of 900 individuals involved in all phases of the real estate in­ dustry.
