Nora Mae, a Remarkable, Insignificant Person

The author Alice Hein Schiel, the tenth child of Nora Mae
and Hugo Hein, grew up in Somerville, Texas. In University
Interscholastic League writing competitions she won a four year
college scholarship in journalism, but opted to pursue Biblical
studies. She worked as a proofreader and "headline setter" for the
Somerville/Burleson County Tribune and graduated from Midwest
Bible Institute with a two-year degree in Bible and ministry. She

obtained Bachelors and Masters degrees in education from Sam Houston State
University. Alice and her husband Bill Schiel who reside in Decker Prairie, Texas
are the proud parents of four married children and seven grandchildren. Alice
taught Christian education classes for 30 years and public education (junior high
and college) for nineteen years; most of the public education years were spent
teaching in Magnolia, Texas ISD. Bill and Alice have always been active in their
local church serving in many ways such as elders, teachers, and Sunday School
administrators; and Alice has served as pianist/keyboard player for the church
praise team for over 38 years. She has enjoyed writing curriculum, poetry, and
various short pieces. This is her first published book.
