After graduating from WHS I stayed on campus and received a degree in Chemical Engineering, worked for General Mills in Minneapolis, went to University of Chicago for an MBA degree, squeezed the Charmin for Proctor & Gamble in Green Bay, and in 1971 became part-owner and President/CEO of Intek Plastics in Hastings, Minnesota. Under my watch Intek grew from one plant and 25 employees to three plants and 375 employees. The company became nationally known among wood window and door manufacturers for it’s innovative line of weather strips and window tracks. I retired from Intek in October 2003.

Since retiring I have been doing some business consulting and volunteer work. Karen, my first and only wife of 37 years, and I enjoy traveling. We have been able to take at least one international trip a year for the past 15 years. We have had many great experiences including seeing in person seven heads of state.

We have lived in Prescott, Wisconsin, a dysfunctional town of 4,000 about 35 miles southeast of the Minneapolis/St Paul airport, for 31 years. Our home is on the scenic St Croix River We enjoy the small town friendliness but are grateful that it is only a short drive to big city amenities.

I remember taking bets on how long Peter Pauley would last in Mr Mock’s math class before his bad behavior got him thrown out. Peter’s behavior changed very quickly when JG said “no math, no football”.

Brother - Philip, attended the UW while the Viet Nam demonstrations were occurring, became a back-up police officer for Shorewood Hills so the regular police could fight with the demonstrators. This piqued an interest in law enforcement and after receiving his Chemical engineering degree J. Edgar Hoover appointed him an FBI agent. For most of his career he worked the Palm Springs CA. area. He is now retired and living with wife, Nancy,in the Denver area.
