Nancy waxa ay sanado badan u ahayd u doode xoogan dhalinyarada iyo ciyaaraha fudud ee Dugsiyada Minnetonka. Xiisaheeda, taageeradeeda iyo adeegeeda u heellan sannadihii la soo dhaafay iyada oo loo marayo Naadiga Dheeman iyo Bennett Family Park ayaa dammaanad qaaday in carruur badan ay ka qaybgeli karaan ciyaaraha oo ay helaan tas-hiilaad aad u wanaagsan oo ay ku raacaan riyooyinkooda ciyaaraha fudud ee Minnetonka.
Nancy waxay xiisaynaysay ciyaaraha goor hore. Markii ay ku jirtay dugsiga sare waxay ku lug lahayd ciyaaraha sida gabadhu wakhtigaas noqon karto. Inta badan ciyaaraha habluhu waxa ay ahaayeen horyaalada nooca mural-ka. Waxay ku firfircoonayd Ururka Gabdhaha Ciyaaraha fudud (GAA), halkaas oo ay fursad u heshay inay ka baxdo fasalka si ay u siiso wiilasha tartanka kooxda tennis-ka inta lagu jiro dhaqankooda, iyada, "kaliya waxay ahayd inay ka faa'iideysato." Waxay diiradda saartay tennis-ka, oo dabayaaqadii 1950-meeyadii waxay ahayd # 1 ciyaartoyga tennis-ka ee dumarka ee Minnesota, laakiin sidoo kale waxay ciyaartay baseball iyo softball, " ragga." Waxay sidoo kale ahayd tifaftiraha xayaysiisyada ee buug-sannadeedka.
Waxay ku dhalatay Minnetonka, Nancy waligeed kama guurin in ka badan laba mayl iyo badh halkii ay ku dhalatay. Awooweed waxay ka haajireen Scotland oo waxay heleen kaliya waxbarasho fasalka lixaad. "Waxay had iyo jeer xoogga saaraan muhiimada waxbarashada, waxayna u codeeyeen canshuuraha dugsiyada iyo aftida," ayay tiri. Waxay si buuxda uga go'an tahay inay ka dhigto Minnetonka meesha ugu fiican ee carruurta. "Minnetonka weligeed waxay ahayd bulsho isku xidhan," ayay tidhi. Waxay dhigatay Dugsiga Hoose ee Groveland, Deephaven Junior High iyo Dugsiga Sare ee Minnetonka. "Waxaan haysanay macalimiin heer sare ah, waxaana u maleynayaa in taasi tahay sababta aan dhammaanteen si fiican u sameynay, waxay u yimaadeen munaasabadaheena, way na daneynayeen."
Nancy waxay si mutadawacnimo ah ugu tabarucday Beerta Qoyska ee Bennett, guriga Minnetonka ee kubbadda koleyga iyo kubbadda jilicsan, muddo 42 sano ah. Waxay soo noqotay madaxweyne laba jeer oo hadda waxay ku fadhidaa guddigooda madaxweyne ku xigeen. "Waan jeclahay meeshan, ma jirto meel kale oo la mid ah," ayay tiri, "Bennett ma ahan mid ay magaaladu leedahay, laakiin waxaa leh ciyaartoyda iyo qoysaska." Waxay dhawaan la shaqeysay mutadawiciin kale si ay u ururiso $1.2 milyan dhismaha.
