Taught in our WELS schools for a bunch of years, then worked for In-Fisherman Comm Network, then MN DNR-Fisheries, then the Univ of MN, then Christ Luth church as their Staff Minister for 20 plus years. Enjoyed them all. It's amazing how the Good Lord puts you in a position to do His work.

School Story

Paul Fetzer and I were roomies and we put a gallon jug of apple cider on the window ledge...and forgot about it. Next Spring we opened the window, took a swig and wooooo....white lightin'!

Bill Coleman, Ray Lewis and I spent many, many hours working off chores given to us with joy by our Dean of Students. We washed so very many walls inside the main classroom halls...my knuckles are still recovering.

What did you want to do or think you were going to do when you finished high school?

Didn't know if I'd be a pastor, teacher, or fisheries biologist...and I ended up doing all 3. Amazing how the Lord works in our life. Working with Al Lindner at In-Fisherman mag was a blast...learned so much about fishing and our shared faith.

Hey hey, JR, tomorrow is the Ides of March, which means it must be your birthday. I always think of you and all the "fun" we had in HS and college together on this day. Here's hoping you are healthy and in good spirits. God's richest blessings to you, ole bud. Stick a big walleye for me on the Maumee, ok?

Happy b-day a day late. For some reason, I thought today was the day...wrong. Hope you had one great day...and God's richest blessings to you, good friend. Hey, I recall you and your sweetie go up to the Keewenaw Peninsula each year. Paula and I are heading there in August...any "must see/do's" you'd suggest? Email me at stevebilitz@yahoo.com. Thanks so very much.
