Amy Cox Schmid

After high school I studied dietetics at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, interned at University of Nebraska Medical Center and then earned my Masters at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. After 22 years cooking on local TV for the Dairy Council, I "retired" in 2008.

My husband Jeff is with Mutual of Omaha Bank. His work involves travel, so I join him.

My guilty pleasures are Pilates, listening to 1970's music, cheering on the Huskers, traveling and trying new restaurants.

My folks, Helenann and Bob Cox continue to live in Norfolk in the house I grew up in on Terrace Road.

My Dad retired from Northeast Community College, but serves on the Northeast Community College Foundation Board.

My mother retired as a dietitian but is active at the Norfolk Arts Center and St. Vincent de Paul Society.

Both my folks attend most of the Northeast games and activities.

My sister Cathy, (class of '77) lives in northern Minnesota. She and her husband Max have adult 3 children. Cathy teaches preschool in Hibbing Minnesota.

My sister Susan (Class of '77) and her husband David live in Tokyo Japan. She teaches at an American school. Their son Isaac attends college in NYC.

My brother Joe, (class of '80) is a CPA at HDR in Omaha. Joe and his awesome wife Liz have two children. We are fortunate to hang out a lot with Joe's family since they live in Omaha.

My youngest brother Jim, (class of '86) lives in Norfolk and is an attorney working in real estate.

I am looking forward to our class reunion. Thanks to the planning committee for all of their hard work making our a reunion a huge success. This web site is awesome.

See you all soon and Go Panthers!
