A look at three Omaha Magazine contributors
Gwen Lemke and her husband, Raymond, raised their four sons in Papillion. After
retiring from a distinguished career in real estate, she joined Omaha Publications in advertising sales. “Having been a business owner, I can relate to the budget and advertising goals of my clients,” Gwen says. “This is a business where you have the opportunity of meeting many interesting people who also become your friends.” Gwen enjoys time with her friends and large family, which includes nine grandchildren. Much of her leisure time is spent reading fiction, especially mystery novels with historical context. Gwen Lemke
