I’m Connie Selleck. I’ve been at the college for almost fourteen years now. I’ve been married for almost 38 years. I have three children. Nine grandchildren, aging from one to fifteen. Lived in Middlebury all my life. Enjoy camping, playing horseshoes, spending time with grandkids. Enjoy working at the college, it’s a great place to work for, benefits are great.

Do you have any hobbies or interests – if you have free time what do you enjoy doing?

I like doing puzzles and as I said, going camping. Do puzzles to relax and get away from everybody. I play horseshoes. We do pry five or six tournaments during the summer. Depending on our work schedule and everything and if we can get away.

How did you start doing that?

Actually some, when we were first married, some neighbors got us involved and we stuck with it. So, we’ve been playing horseshoes since 1983.

And you go to competitions?

Yup, yup.

What does that look like exactly?

You’re all in a percentage, on how many fingers you get per. And you’re all classed with that percentage. And people shoot 2% and up to 70% or so. But we’re all separated and so we all kinda have a chance to win if you want. The biggest horseshoe tournament is in New England, which is Labor Day weekend, usually in Keene, New Hampshire and there’s probably 300 people in that tournament.

I’ve been state champion twice for horseshoes.
