During her lifetime, Indianola resident Pam Perry has traveled extensively to interesting, exciting and exotic locations around the world. Her parents, Linc and Fredi Perry, were "big travelers", as she puts it.

"They always inspired me with the with stories of places they had been," she said. "They would also ask us -- my brother Ken, my sister Andi and me -- what we wanted from their travel destinations, their ports-of-call."

Pam and her siblings were always motivated to by their parents' stories to learn about where they traveled.

"It forced us to a lot of research to learn about those countries and what they produced that we might want," Perry remarked.

She has had a travel visa from the age of 12. As a family they went to Mexico, Japan, Hong Kong, and to Hawaii three times.

"I have always had wanderlust," she said.

"We had a great family unit with weekly family meetings, organized by my dad, to keep up to date with everything that was happening to each of us," Perry said. "I always felt loved and supported by my parents and siblings, and that continues to this day."

She had an extended family, as well.

In her early childhood she was "adopted" by close friends of the family, Paula and Hal Hubbell.
