Chladek, Nanci

From Spearfish Lake Tales Wiki

Nanci Chladek is the youngest of Pete and Karin Chladek with an older half-sister, Crystal, and older full-brother Jon. Nanci was born November 1979. She is described as small and blonde, a flirt and party girl. She graduated from High School in Glen Ellyn, IL, near Chicago, in the spring of 1996.

Nanci had hopes of making the cheerleading team at Northern Michigan University, but that fell through. She roomed with Crystal as a freshman until her sister graduated in December 1996. She slept around a lot, including the hockey player Kip. Her father blamed any problem she had on her sister Crystal.

In February 1997, Nanci had Kip kick her roommate Ruth out. Ruth went to the RA Brenda who asked for help from Crystal's old boyfriend Randy Clark. Randy threw Kip out of the room and told Nanci's parents the truth, but they believed her lies that he threatened her and pulled her from the school.^DW47 Nanci moved in with Kip for a few months in the summer of 1997, before returning home with a black eye. In August 1997, just when Crystal happened to be visiting, she came home again bruised with Kip hot on her tail. Crystal defended herself and Kip was sent to jail.

Sometime after Karin started to divorce Pete in 1999/2000, he kicked Nanci out of the house. In April 2001, Nanci's latest boyfriend, Curt, beat her up for her money. She drove from Chicago on a rumor that Crystal was working at Canyon Tours, allowing her to arrive just before the wedding trip. The wedding trip and her growth during it are the subjects of Canyon Fires.

In October 2001, Kevin Haynes was her de-facto boyfriend. She had done well enough in her first season as a swamper that getting a raft of her own in the next season was a possibility.^PE1
