Society & Culture
Manny Zempel came to the Lakes area from Minnesota to work as a newspaper man, after having studied art and marketing. He became well known in the area when he switched careers to selling cars in the 1980s, a job he retired from recently. Manny is a very spiritual man who so kindly agreed to share a lot about his journey with Celiac disease; an autoimmune disease that causes the body to attack itself when it comes into contact with gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, barely and spelt. Big Spirit is presented through a partnership with JJ School of Music, the premiere location for private music lessons and group classes in the Iowa Great Lakes. Visit JJ on Facebook or at www.jjschoolofmusic.weebly.com to find out more. Registration for Fall 2019 opens on August 5.
