As a young child Silvia helped her Dad, a baker, by delivering Mexican bread in their village. In Mexico she was always in the top of her class. In 1972 Silvia and her family moved to the United States. She entered school here with elementary English skills but graduated from Holbrook High School in 1978 with honors. In 1979 a young Air Force sergeant, David Wright was assigned to the Holbrook Radar Site. Dave met Silvia at the Holbrook First Assembly of God church. He was so captivated with this intriguing Mexican beauty that he could not live without her. They married on Nov. 29, 1980. They moved to Minneapolis, Minn., where her husband Dave went to college at North Central Bible College. While there, Silvia worked at Abbott Northwestern hospital in the accounting department.
