Board turnover draws criticismPalmeri replaces some members on short notice By Tom EkvallHerald contributor

The Common Council had a lively meeting May 28 discussing appointments to various city boards and commissions.

A question was raised by several coun-cil members over those not being recom-mended for reappointment. One issue was that those not recommended for re-appointment received their notices before the Tuesday meeting, at which time the council was to act on the appointments.

Council members decided to split the voting process into several ballots. Those being reappointed to their boards went

D-Day warplane returns to Normandy after Oshkosh discoveryBy Dan RohertyOshkosh Herald

A U.S. warplane that led some 800 air-craft in the D-Day invasion 75 years ago and was later rediscovered in Oshkosh will be part of this week’s D-Day Squad-ron mass flyover of Normandy to mark the World War II anniversary.

The refurbished C-47 had a message painted across its nose for its German foes — “That’s All … Brother” – while drop-ping paratroopers behind enemy lines at night to prepare for the largest amphibi-ous invasion in history when they assault-ed the northern coast of France on June

6, 1944. D-Day Squadron is a nonprofit

organization that assembled the vin-tage fleet of Douglas DC-3s and C-47 Skytrains that will commemorate the thousands of soldiers that

died during the European invasion in Op-eration Overlord. The flyover will be part of the larger Daks Over Normandy event that will feature DC-3s and C-47s from other nations.

An Air Force historian who was re-searching the plane’s pilot, Col. John

Donaldson, found the C-47 at

the Basler Turbo Conversions junkyard in Oshkosh in 2015. It is now operated by the Texas-based Commemorative Air Force (CAF), which preserves military aircraft.

The aircraft was

tracked down to Basler using identification numbers

and purchased by the CAF after a fundraiser

that brought in some $250,000,

Herald offers Kid Scoop for reading funBy Karen SchneiderHerald publisher

The One World Literacy Foundation has found that two-thirds of students who cannot read proficiently by the end of fourth grade will end up in jail or on welfare. It also predicts that if a child is not reading proficiently by that time he or she will have about a 78 percent chance of not catching up.

I learned this and other startling liter-acy statistics from www.oneworldlitera-cyfoundation.org when researching this statement at a recent seminar: Fourth-grade reading scores are used to predict future prison population.

Fewer than 50 percent of fourth-grad-

ers in Oshkosh read at or above grade level.

Studies have shown that using news-papers in education can increase reading levels up to 10 percent and nearly 30 per-cent for at-risk children. Thanks to a grant from Altrusa International of Oshkosh, we are introducing Kid Scoop as a tool to decrease the “summer slide.” Summer slide is the tendency for students, espe-cially those from low-income families, to lose some of the achievement gains they made during the school year.

For the next 12 weeks you’ll find Kid Scoop’s summer space series in the Oshkosh Herald. Additional copies are available at no cost to teachers and orga-nizations in Oshkosh as a resource. Near-

ly 500 children are already scheduled to receive Kid Scoop in summer school and programs.

Kid Scoop includes interactive games, activities and puzzles for children and their family to enjoy together. The content supports Common Core State Standards, which provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn. Teachers will have free access to curriculum built around each week’s content.

If your businesses or organization would like information on how to partner in providing Kid Scoop programming on a year-round basis, please contact me at [email protected] or 920-858-6407.

Lakeshore Park public meeting set MondayPlans for the new Lakeshore Park will

be discussed at a public visioning meet-ing at 5:30 p.m. Monday at the Oshkosh Convention Center to follow up on an

online survey to solicit ideas for the 70-acre site.

Lakeshore Park takes in a large portion of the former Lakeshore Municipal Golf

Course and surrounds Oshkosh Corp.’s new global headquarters. With the help of consultants from SmithGroup the city is developing plans for the park that already include a trail on the northern border of the site, connecting the Trib-al Heritage Trail to Rainbow Memorial Park, which is scheduled to be completed in October.

SmithGroup will develop a conceptual design from the time of the public vision-ing session to Aug. 12, when up to three design alternatives will be presented to the Advisory Park Board using input from city agencies and the public.

A master plan will be presented Sept. 9 to the Park Board before advancing to the Plan Commission and presentation to the Common Council in October.

Mineshaft project, Rainbow field work OK’dBy Tom EkvallHerald contributor

The Common Council unanimously ap-proved a resolution recommending plans for development of a Mineshaft Restau-rant and entertainment center at 2105 S. Koeller St. on land previously occupied by the now-razed Walmart store.

The building would occupy 34,423 square feet with an additional 30,000 square feet available for expansion. The applicant is proposing to design the facili-ty with a theme of being a mineshaft.

The council also approved an ordinance changing the zoning for the northeast

corner of Punhoqua Street and Rainbow Drive in Rainbow Memorial Park that will enable construction of a baseball field as part of the Rainbow Park Master Plan.

Mayor Lori Palmeri voted against a separate resolution approving a specific implementation plan for the baseball field because the council had agreed to elimi-nate a provision recommended by the Plan Commission that outdoor lighting would not be allowed. Others said that lighting may be needed at some point in time to accommodate team schedules when darkness falls in the late afternoons. The remainder of the council approved the resolution.

Council members also approved a $40 fee for the new short-term rental ordinance that takes effect Aug. 1 for homes rented out for more than 16 days annually. City staff proposed a $100 fee. The council de-cided that the $40 amount represented a reasonable charge since the applicant would also need to go before the county to obtain and pay for a health inspection and approval for short-term housing.

After considerable discussion, the coun-cil unanimously approved a resolution for a specific implementation plan amendment that would allow vehicle sales at 1911 W. Snell Road. The city has been involved in a lengthy legal battle with the owners of the property over having unlicensed outdoor storage on the property.

Councilman Matt Mugerauer asked why the city should approve the change if the owner has been noncompliant over the years with the city. City staff responded that its approval would help clear up prob-lems there.

The council did request to have a report back in three months on progress by the owner to accomplish necessary improve-ments. All improvements must be complet-ed within six months.

“We need to get this cleaned up,” Coun-cilman Steve Herman said.

A resolution approving a specific imple-mentation plan for Grace Lutheran Church to expand their school at 913 Nebraska St. to handle expected enrollment growth in 2020 was also approved. Summer reading blasts off

with library programsBy Laura McDonaldLibrary marketing coordinator

The countdown is on at Oshkosh Public Library for a space-themed summer of ex-ploration and discovery through reading, hands-on learning and a creative mission with a sci-fi twist.

Mission 2019: A Universe of Stories, offers reading challenges, programs and events for all ages that will spark the imag-ination and expand the horizons of all who venture aboard.

The warm, dreamy days of summer offer a break from the demands of school, but that doesn’t mean curiosity, creativity and learning need to go on hiatus. And “plan-et library” is the destination for people to find inspiration and try something new.

Activities for all ages blast off Friday with a Summer Reading Launch Party from 3 to 7 p.m. Register for the Race to Space Reading Challenge, test the Crater Impact Station and create a solar system under the Dome. Come dressed as your favorite space character and read to earn a Be Fine Free coupon. See a replica of a Mercury space suit and spin the Wheel of Space Facts.

Children, teens and adults can earn prizes for reading and other activities. For children, reading throughout the summer is crucial to avoid the summer slide – a de-cline in reading and learning abilities that put them behind when school resumes in fall. The wide range of hands-on activities and events at the library provide an even richer learning experience.

“The reading challenges, programs and learning opportunities we offer for chil-dren during the summer are deliberately designed to maintain or even boost read-

ing skills and to keep curious young minds active,” said Marie Boleman, head of Chil-dren’s and Family Outreach. “We’re fo-cused on creating fun learning experienc-es that inspire kids and make them want to learn even more.”

An Outerspace STEAM Lab Series for preschool to elementary grades provides hands-on activities around lunar phases, planets and rockets. Teens will make Gal-axy Tie-Dye T-shirts and use Ozobots in the Asteroid Belt Navigation Challenge. The library is sponsoring a showing of “2001: A Space Odyssey” at the Time Community Theater and everyone is in-vited to help Build a Space City under the Dome.

Be inspired to create with the It Came from Oshkosh: A Sci-Fi Short Film Proj-ect. The mission is to create a sci-fi movie short (up to three minutes) and submit it to the library – the cheesier the better.

“More and more, public libraries are offering resources, tools and support for people in the community who want to experiment, indulge their curiosity and create something,” librarian Sandy Toland said. “It Came from Oshkosh is about go-ing through the creative process of mak-ing a short film and what you can learn from that experience.”

Programs and sessions offering tech-nical support and inspiration for com-munity movie makers will be offered throughout the summer. Award-winning filmmaker Christopher Mihm will be at the launch party to talk about writing and directing sci-fi movies.

A complete schedule of summer read-ing activities is available at oshkoshpubli-clibrary.org.

Summer is here at last. For many people, it’s time to get the car ready for a long roadtrip. And with GPS-enabled smartphones, it’s now a lot easier to navigate these driveswithout getting lost. During your life, you may take many journeys – one of which isthe long road you’ll travel toward your financial goals. But even on this path you canbenefit from a “GPS” in the form of your goal-oriented, personalized strategy.Your investment strategy can function this way by helping answer these questions:How far do I have to go? Your smartphone’s GPS can quickly tell you how many

miles you need to travel to arrive at your destination.And a well-constructed investmentstrategy can inform you of when you might reach a goal, such as having a desiredamount of money when you retire, given your current age, earnings, sources ofretirement income, and so on.What route should I follow? Your GPS will plot out your route, showing what turns

you should take along the way. Similarly, to reach your desired financial outcome, yourinvestment strategy helps guide the investment decisions you make, such as investingadequate amounts in the appropriate vehicles, including your 401(k) and IRA.What problems await me? When your smarthphone’s GPS shows red on the route

you’re following, you know that heavy traffic lies ahead. And your investment strategycan also help you manage bumps in the road, particularly if it’s a strategy you’vedesigned with a financial professional, who has the knowledge and technology to createvarious scenarios and hypothetical illustrations to account for potential difficulties – i.e.,a rate of return that’s less than expected, a lower income base than you had anticipated,greater college costs than you bargained for, and so on.When should I take an alternate route? For whatever reason, youmay deviate from the

course plotted by your GPS – which will then helpfully re-route you. While followingyour investment strategy, if you make a wrong turn, so to speak – perhaps by puttinginsufficient funds in a retirement account or by assembling an investment mix that hasbecome unsuitable for your risk tolerance – you may need to get back on track.As we’ve seen, some analogies exist between your smartphone’s GPS and your

investment strategy. And yet, there’s also a big difference in terms of complexity. It’ssimple to program your smartphone to give you the directions you need. But craftinga personalized investment strategy takes time and effort. You need to consider allyour goals – college for your children, a comfortable retirement, the ability to leavethe legacy you want – along with your time horizon, risk tolerance and other factors.And your investment strategy may well need to change over the years, in response tochanges in your family situation, employment and even your objectives – for example,you may decide you want to retire earlier (or later) than you had originally planned.In any case, like your GPS, your investment strategy can help guide you – so make

good use of it.

Former supremacist finds a life after hate By Jack TierneyHerald contributor

Students enrolled in an interim course at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh had a Skype conversation with a former white supremacist turned peace activist Saturday after watching the documentary “White Right: Meeting the Enemy.”

Arno Michaelis was a founding mem-ber of the Northern Hammerskins, a white supremacist group formed in 1988 in Dal-las with the primary goal of promoting and producing white pow-er rock music. Michae-lis was a lead singer in a race-metal band called Centurion that sold more than 20,000 CDs.

“I was also enamoured with the idea of being a warrior, and as a skinhead, here at last was my chance to be a warrior for a magnificent cause — to save the white race,” Michaelis wrote to The Forgiveness Project.

Peyton Sherry, a student in professor Jerry Thomas’ Practicum in Diversity, Unity & Peace interim course at UWO, said he organized the event because he believes that hate can only be driven out by understanding what motivates it and exploring where it comes from.

“Conversations such as these can be quite difficult but are incredibly more ef-fective than fueling hate with more hate,”

Sherry said. Thomas said students in his class have

chosen to confront hate speech with less hate and more understanding. He said he prefers education over ignorance, peace over war, and meeting unpopular speech with more speech and less hateful speech.

“The levels of maturity I see develop-ing on campus are shifting,” Thomas said. “Students are stepping into their own em-powerment as they are becoming more and more ‘woke,’ as they like to say.”

Michaelis was an alcoholic who lashed out in rage for 10 years during his time as a white power leader, he said. Being a single parent at 24 helped distance himself from the racist movement he helped organize. Michaelis said he quit drinking in 2014. In 2007 he began a memoir and three years later started an online magazine “Life Af-ter Hate.”

Michaelis is now the founder of Kind-ness Not Weakness, a character develop-ment outreach movement that teaches strength, courage and honor to children.

New York Times best-selling author Robin Gaby Fisher wrote a book about Michaelis in 2018 titled, “The Gift of Our Wounds.” The book narrates Michaelis and Pardeep Kaleka, a Sikh Indian man whose father was killed by a skinhead at a temple in Wisconsin along with six others, their unlikely friendship and their mis-sion to teach children inclusivity through Serve 2 Unite, an organization Michaelis and Kaleka co-founded.

Michaelis currently lives in Milwaukee.

Zoo bids farewell to Sienna the wolfMenominee Park Zoo announced the

passing of Sienna, a 16-year-old female gray wolf who came to the zoo in 2014 from Columbus, Minn., and was one of four gray wolves the zoo received.

Sienna suffered from kidney failure and was euthanized. In the wild, wolves typ-ically live 6 to 8 years. Under the care of Menominee Park zookeepers, Sienna re-cently celebrated her 16th birthday.

Sienna will be remembered as the al-pha female in the pack – not due to her size, but her strong personality. Some of her nicknames were Sassy, Naughty, and Squinty. Her brother, Thunder, is the re-maining wolf residing in the zoo.

“Sienna was a favorite at the zoo and she will be greatly missed,” zoo specialist Stacy Donnelly said. To learn more about wolves at the zoo go to www.oshkoshzoo.org.

Comic Book Creation Challenge sparks creativityWinnebago County Literacy Council

A new contest honoring a local comic book legend is challenging community members of all ages to embark on a cre-ative quest where heroes are born and

imagination thrives. The Mark Gruenwald Comic Book Cre-

ation Challenge honors the late Oshkosh native who drew and edited numerous volumes for comic giant Marvel from

1978-1996, including “Captain Ameri-ca,” which he wrote for 10 years. Gruen-wald was an expert on Marvel history and served as Marvel’s executive editor from 1987 until his death in 1996.

The comic book challenge tasks individ-uals and teams to create an original comic that will be judged on originality, artwork, story and character development.

Participants receive a pizza box loaded with art supplies to help them bring their ideas to the page. Art kits and registration forms are available at Oshkosh Public Li-brary.

The project is the brainchild of Jon Doemel, owner of Zaroni’s Pizza; Scott Dercks, owner of House of Heroes Comic and Games; and the Winnebago County Literacy Council.

According to organizers, the comic book challenge is designed to promote literacy through comic books and graphic novels by creating an event that works for all ages and abilities. Organizers also want

to raise awareness about the free services offered by the Literacy Council and bring more people to the library.

“Comic books and graphic novels in-clude heroes of all ages, genders, abilities and social classes,” said Julia Frascona of the Winnebago County Literacy Coun-cil. “These stories take place in a variety of time periods, in locations near and far, with social justice themes that resonate with a broad range of readers. We can’t wait to see the creative ideas our comic book challengers come up with in this contest.”

Registration deadline is Aug. 1 and sub-missions must be turned in to the library by Aug. 31. The Mark Gruenwald Comic Book Creation Challenge group on Face-book has contest rules and age categories.

Winners will be announced and comic books displayed in a community celebra-tion at the library on Sept. 28. Organizers are planning workshops at the library with dates to be announced.

UW-Oshkosh students find state success University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh stu-

dents exceed the national average when it comes to securing a job after graduation, a new report shows.

The annual First Destination Outcomes survey targets recent UW-Oshkosh grad-uates to determine their career outcomes by following the classes of 2017-2018. Of more than 2,000 respondents, 88.5 percent secured an outcome, up from 87 percent in 2016-17 and above the national average of 84.4 percent. The rate includes those employed or in military service,

volunteer service, continuing education or not seeking employment. More than sixth-two percent of those employed se-cured their positions before graduation.

“This data exemplifies what we at UW-Oshkosh already know, our students are well-prepared to start their careers even before they leave our University,” Chancellor Andrew Leavitt said in a state-ment. “And the majority of these students are staying in Wisconsin to share their tal-ents, grow their careers and spur growth in our state.”

Exploring global issuesSophomores from Oshkosh West and the Academy for Global Studies put their “inquiry projects” on display for the public last Wednesday night at Becket’s that showcased a variety of cultural and social issues the students have been researching.

Miravida Living veterans create an ongoing conversationBy John HoldorfFor the Oshkosh Herald

Since March 2018 a group of military veterans from around the Oshkosh area have been gathering monthly for fellowship and sharing military experiences. These in-dividuals have service spanning World War II, Korea, Vietnam and through recent con-flicts in the Middle East.

Initially this was a group from the Miravida Living facilities and has recent-ly expanded to other similar area services. The idea originated with Jason Meyer, the business operations manager at Miravida who is an Army veteran from 2000-03 with time in Iraq, where his unit tracked down and captured Saddam Hussein shortly after Meyer’s deployment ended. He became aware of the number of vet-erans at the Miravida locations and saw a need for them to interact not only with their immediate neighbors but other vet-erans in the area.

Because of his personal experiences, Meyer saw this cause to be especially im-portant as more Vietnam veterans enter assisted living and nursing facilities. He said it wasn’t easy for Vietnam veterans upon their return home and wants them to have the chance to share their stories.

Meyer proposed the idea to Emily Schwartz, community services coordina-tor at Miravida, who helped organize the first gathering of veterans at Planet Perk for Monday morning coffee. That initial outing proved so successful that the next meetings were held at the Carmel Residence dining room to accommodate more veterans.

Schwartz spread the word to colleagues, other business professionals, and contact-

ed the VFW, AMVETS, and American Le-gion. The group now includes gatherings at Park View Health Center, The Water-ford Assisted Living, the Military Veterans Museum in June, and Evergreen Retire-ment Community in July. Veterans out-side of these facilities were also informed of the gatherings.

Because of my association with Mirav-ida Living and being a member of the Miravida Foundation Board, I became aware of this group. Since I am a Vietnam veteran I thought this would be an inter-esting encounter meeting other veterans with various experiences in an informal,

unstructured setting. What I have really come to enjoy is just sitting down with another veteran one-on-one, sharing our stories and history. Personal encounters that I had while at recent gatherings re-veals why I enjoy being part of this group.

When I walked into the meeting room at Park View I noticed an individual sitting by himself, so I took my coffee and dough-nut, sat down across from him and began a conversation that initially was somewhat one-sided with me doing most the talking. He was in there for rehabilitation and I could tell there were other places he would rather have wanted to be at that point.

Shortly we started sharing our military experiences and found out we had both been in Vietnam about the same time pe-riod, although he had a rougher time of it there than I did. We had both gone to Fort Campbell (Kentucky) for basic training and both had some area acquaintances.

He ended up sharing his life history and hopefully our conversation made his day. I know it made mine. At another gather-ing, this time at The Waterford, I sat down with a Korean War veteran who talked about his military experiences not only in Korea but time also spent in France and England. His time in Europe goes back al-most 70 years.

One memory that stuck with him was flying over the White Cliffs of Dover. He told me how the pilot of the plane made a special pass over the English coastline so he could see the cliffs, a wonderful mem-ory that I could tell he was very proud of sharing.

My father and father-in-law were veter-ans of World War II but didn’t share their experiences with me, which I now regret. Both were reluctant to talk about it. Possi-bly sharing memories good and bad with fellow veterans from all wars eases some pain and creates pride in our service.

The gatherings at Miravida and other facilities normally involve a light break-fast for veterans and some of their family members. Attendance is averaging about 20 veterans from all age groups.

UW-Oshkosh attacks bring 20-year sentenceBy Miles MaguireHerald contributor

A local man accused of terrorizing four women early one morning near the Uni-versity of Wisconsin-Oshkosh campus has been sentenced to more than 20 years in prison after pleading no contest.

But in a letter to the judge, Joshua T. Immel said he misunderstood a plea agreement that he rejected and wants his punishment reduced. Court records also reveal that Immel, now 29, has suf-fered multiple head injuries and exhibit-ed symptoms from a long list of mental health conditions.

Immel began his rampage around 2 a.m. Sept. 17, 2017, according to court re-cords. He entered the room of a 21-year-old woman who lived on Amherst Ave-nue and ordered her to take her pants off, court records show.

After she drove him off with screams

and a four-letter word, Immel set upon the woman’s housemate, who was sleeping in another room. Immel pulled her dress up and started sucking on the side of her neck. The second woman, also 21, managed to maneuver Immel to the front door of the house and onto the porch, whereupon “she slammed and locked the door behind him,” according to a criminal affidavit.

Thirty minutes later, and just two blocks away, police came upon a third 21-year-old woman, who said a man later identified as Immel had followed her and grabbed her by the shirt before throwing her to the ground and getting on top of her. The woman, who reported a concussion from Immel’s attack, was rescued when two young men came upon the scene and pulled Immel away.

Around 5:30 that morning, police were summoned to a blue light emergen-cy phone on Cherry Street, where they found a fourth woman “sobbing, crying

and holding her face,” the affidavit states. The 19-year-old had been pushed down to the ground behind a nearby Dumpster, where Immel had been on top of her and in the process of unbuckling his belt when another young man arrived and broke up the assault.

Early last year Immel appeared headed for trial, but along the way he changed his plea. On May 14 he was pronounced guilty due to no contest on the eight charges against him, which included kid-napping, car theft, trespassing and two counts of sexual assault.

Judge Daniel J. Bissett sentenced Immel to 10 years in jail on the kidnapping charge with a consecutive eight years tacked on for second-degree sexual assault, a charge that is brought when there is a threat of vi-olence. The other charges carried a mix of concurrent and consecutive sentences that totaled almost 25 years in prison or jail.

A psychological evaluation included in the court file said Immel’s “current di-agnoses include bipolar 2 disorder and borderline personality as well as severe alcohol use disorder and severe cannabis use disorder.” Miles Maguire is editor of the Oshkosh Examiner news blog.

Calvary Lutheran marks 50

Lake racersThe Upper Midwest Power Boat Association Boat Race was held Saturday off Millers Bay in Menominee Park, where participants enjoyed racing each other and were more invested in getting a good performance out of their boat than winning. The competition is organized by speed with the majority of boats in the 85 mph class — unlimited class boats can reach 115 mph — and a straight 1,000-foot drag race course is used. The Oshkosh race will be one of four sponsored by the club this year.

Calvary Lutheran Church is celebrating its 50th anniversary with an open house from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Saturday and a cele-bration service at 10 a.m. Sunday.

The area to the west of Interstate 41 was growing in 1968 and presented an oppor-tunity to form a mission church to serve that community. The Rev. Alan Madson arrived in January 1969 and the first ser-vice was performed March 2. The church dedication took place June 22 with 65 families in attendance.

In 1972, Good Samaritan Catholic Church — now St. Raphael — was grant-ed permission to hold services at Calva-ry with the Rev. David Barrett presiding. Madson went on to serve his new flock until 1973 when he accepted a call to Van-couver, Wash. Longtime Pastor Robert Rosenberg accepted the call to Calvary in May 1973.

Between 1987 and 2003 Calvary ex-perienced the development of various ministries, soup suppers, a live nativity and formation of the Forte and Chime choirs. Growth continued as an education and fellowship hall were added in 1989. The year 2000 brought a new sanctuary, church offices and a nursery.

Rosenberg retired in 2005 after 32 years

of service, and the Rev. Randy Van Ert served as interim pastor until July 2006, when the Rev. Timothy Routh became pastor.

The current pastor is the Rev. Doug-las Holtz, who accepted the call Dec. 16,

2018, in time for Christmas services. He was installed Feb. 17.

Calvary recently approved a two-pro-jector audiovisual system to be in place by late summer to enhance services through the website for people unable to attend.

Family roots come to life in historic homeDoe House restoration overseen by descendantBy Randy DomerHerald contributor

On most days, a leisurely drive down Mt. Vernon Street would seem inconse-quential. The street is lined with 19th cen-tury homes that have seen many families come and go the last century and a half. But a closer look behind the scene chang-es when you pass 456 Mt. Vernon.

This two-story Italianate style home was built in 1869 and is said to have been the first residential building designed by the locally famous architect William Wa-ters for Oshkosh resident William H. Doe.

The home, formerly known as the Doe House, was recently purchased by Rebec-ca “Becky” Doe Brown and her husband Paul Williams. She is a lineal descendant of William Doe. Over the past year, she and Paul have taken detailed steps to restore the family home as close to its original state as possible. But before we learn about the renovation of this historic home, one must understand the history behind the family that once lived here.

In 1854, William Doe and his wife Eliz-abeth arrived in Oshkosh from Pennsylva-nia via a Great Lakes ship to Sheboygan with part of the journey traveled in a cov-ered wagon. In 1857 he is listed as a butch-er in the Doe & Co. Meat Market on Ferry Street.

Doe left Oshkosh in 1859 to prospect for gold out West and struck it rich. He returned to Oshkosh a few years later and decided to settle in, making Oshkosh his new home. Listed as a “prominent Osh-kosh citizen,” William Doe was described as a self-educated preacher, dry goods merchant, lumber magnate, bank presi-dent and railroad promoter.

The Does had seven children. Their son, William Harvey Doe Jr., married Eliza-beth McCourt, who would later become famous as “Baby Doe Tabor.” The wedding gift to the newlyweds from the elder Wil-liam Doe was part interest in the Fourth of July mine in Central City, Colo. Wil-liam Harvey Doe Jr. and Elizabeth were divorced a few years later when Baby Doe left her husband for Horace Tabor and a lavish lifestyle.

William Doe was elected to the state Legislature in 1866. As a state legislator he is credited with being instrumental in establishing Oshkosh for the site of a Nor-mal School, now UW-Oshkosh. It was in the summer of 1869 that Doe decided to build a new home on property that he owned on the southeast corner of Merritt and Mt. Vernon streets. He ran for the of-fice of Oshkosh mayor in 1877, but his bid proved unsuccessful. A year after losing the mayoral race, Doe moved back to Col-orado after his lumber yard and mill were destroyed by fire. In 1880, the house was sold to Horace McKoy, who was a prom-inent lumberman and cattleman who worked closely with the Sawyer and Jewell families of Oshkosh.

The third daughter of William and Eliz-abeth Doe, Cornelia Doe married Rufus Choate Brown Sr. in 1877. RC Brown would be the co-founder of Cook & Brown Co., a local lime, brick and fuel company. Cook and Brown Inc. was eventually a concrete and reinforcing steel business in operation for 111 years and was sold by Becky’s father, Henry J. Brown Jr., in 1984.

Becky is the great-great-great-grand-daughter of William Doe. She and her hus-band, Paul, purchased the old homestead

on Mt. Vernon Street in April 2018 with a plan and a passion to return the home as near to its original design as it was when her ancestors lived here.

“We bought the house primarily to save it as we have the family connection, but the journey has been exciting and terrify-ing all at once. We want to be historically respectful while not breaking the bank,” Becky informed me.

The undertaking at hand was enor-mous, so Becky and Paul contacted local restoration experts Terry and Matt Laib to oversee the project. Local electric, plumb-ing and heating contractors were hired to do the necessary updates.

As you would expect in a 150-year-old house, the updates were numerous. The original city water line that ran to the house was lead pipe and had to be re-moved. Even the galvanized plumbing, which was estimated to have been about 75 years old, was failing and had to be re-placed. While the original boiler was still operational, supplemental heating had been added over the years in the form of electric baseboards and a pellet stove. All of this was removed and the house was up-dated with two zoned boilers that utilize most of the original steam radiators that are now converted to hot water radiators.

The dining room ceiling was sagging

and some major work was required to cor-rect it. They discovered the problem was caused by leaking pipes and sometime during a past renovation, several ceiling joists had been cut, compromising its structural integrity.

“Every time we opened a floorboard, a ceiling or a wall we found something hidden or that needed to be replaced. For example, in one case, the wall beneath a small window was opened only to find the window had at one time gone all the way to floor,” Becky explained. They plan to renovate this window to its original di-mensions.

Another major project is the kitch-en. Becky pointed out that the original kitchen, according to the Oshkosh Dai-ly Northwestern in July 1869, was in the basement, and there was a dumbwaiter to the room directly above it. Someone made this first-floor room into a kitchen over a hundred years ago, and added a section of cupboards and one very low counter along the east wall.

The rest of the room had been used by previous tenants as office space. It will now become a fully functional kitchen while keeping the existing cabinets.

As I toured the home, it became clear to me one could write an entire book docu-menting all the changes that were needed

to restore this beautiful home to its origi-nal design.

This project is truly one of passion with Becky and Paul as they work tirelessly during their trips here from their present home in Texas.

“It’s our plan to eventually move to Oshkosh once the house is complete and furnished appropriately.” Becky said with a smile. “It will take some time.”

As we walked together through the halls and down the staircase, stopping in each room, it was easy to look past what is there today. Together, we agreed that we could almost feel how things were when the Doe family lived here in the mid-1800s. Visions of Elizabeth Doe descending the grand stairway that led to the front door or William Doe relaxing beside one of the numerous fireplaces found throughout this stately old home.

The restoration of this home is truly a gift to Oshkosh. We have all watched as many old homes from the 19th century continue to fall to make room for parking lots, businesses and commercial expan-sions. Thanks to Becky and Paul, this is one historic treasure that will remain to remind us all of our past.

Community Players present ‘The Producers’ at GrandOshkosh Community Players are bring-

ing the laughs and challenging the polit-ically correct culture with “The Produc-

ers,” a musical adaptation of the film by Mel Brooks.

“The Producers” is a satiric masterpiece that follows Max Bialystock, a failing Broadway producer who hasn’t had a hit show in quite a while. When Leo Bloom comes in to review the books, determines that Max could conceivably make more money from a flop than from a hit. They

seek out the worst play, the worst director, and the worst cast to perform the worst show ever — “Springtime for Hitler.” But what happens when the show actually finds success?

With iconic songs like “I Wanna Be A Producer,” “Keep It Gay” and, of course, “Springtime for Hitler,” fans of the 1967 film starring Gene Wilder and Zero Mo-

stel or the 2005 version with Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane are sure to appreciate this live, fresh take on a classic.

Directed by John Rubino with music di-rection by Kari Devine, “The Producers” will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and June 13-15, and at 2 p.m. Sunday at The Grand. Tickets are $18-$20 or $28 for suite sSeats.

Overture’s Rising Stars talent search expands here The Overture Center for the Arts’ Ris-

ing Stars talent search has been expanded in Wisconsin through partnerships with The Grand Oshkosh, Grand Theater in Wausau and Viterbo University Fine Arts Center in La Crosse.

Participants from ages 6 and up will have the opportunity to develop their talent with guidance from industry pros. There will be three age categories with $750 cash prizes and one grand prize

winner will receive $1,000, booking op-portunities, a digital marketing consulta-tion and the chance to perform at Over-ture during the 2020/21 season.

Online registration for the statewide program begins at 10 a.m. Saturday through overture.org/Risingstars.

Auditions will be held at four statewide locations, including July 13 at The Grand Oshkosh, each with a panel of local ce-lebrity judges. Acts selected from the

preliminary auditions will be invited to a callback Aug. 17. Finals will be held Sept. 14 at Overture Center in Madison.

“Overture’s Rising Stars is a great pro-gram that highlights local talent in the community,” said Joseph Ferlo, director of The Grand. “We’re thrilled that Over-ture reached out and allowed us to be a part of it.”

Filmmaker offers insight into sci-fi processAward-winning independent filmmak-

er and King of the Mihmiverse, Christo-pher Mihm, will be at the Oshkosh Pub-lic Library from 5 to 6 p.m. Friday in the first-floor Reading Room.

Ministry from the Heart of Oshkosh

UW-Oshkosh professor’s lesson in tragedy reverberatesBy Joseph SchulzHerald contributor

Valentine’s Day 2008 started out as a day like any other for Joseph Peterson, but in a matter of minutes it turned into a day that will be ingrained in his memory for the rest of his life.

Peterson was a graduate student at Northern Illinois University working to-ward his doctorate. He was teaching an oceanography class for non-geology ma-jors when his life was forever changed.

With about 10 minutes left in his lec-ture and about 200 students packed in the lecture hall, the door behind him opened, which wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. It was the middle of winter, and Peterson said it was common for students to try to cut through the lecture hall to avoid the bitter cold.

When he turned to tell the man enter-ing to leave, he realized it was far worse than a student trying to keep warm.

“I was just turning to say, ‘We need to wait,’ and he started firing into the audito-rium with a 12-gauge sawed-off shotgun,” Peterson said.

The first thing that went through his mind was, “This has to be some kind of drill.” He didn’t want to believe what was happening. It was Valentine’s Day and he had married his wife a few months earli-er, so his second thought was, “If I die, my wife is going to kill me.”

He was on stage, 15 feet away from the gunman who was dressed in all black with a shirt that had an AK-47 weapon on it and the word “terrorist” scrawled across the top.

The gunman didn’t say a word, just fired and kept firing. Peterson tried the door opposite the gunman, which was locked. “I later found out it was a closet, so it wouldn’t’ve helped me,” he said.

He then jumped off the stage, crouched behind a podium and looked into the crowd to see students running for their lives.

Peterson described the scene as “just completely congested,” with “people crawl-ing on their elbows,” trying to escape.

The gunman fired four more times, and as he started to reload, Peterson made a break for it. “I kept my eye on him the en-tire time and we made eye contact,” he said.

As he ran for his life, the gunman dropped the shotgun, pulled out a Glock 9 mm, and shot Peterson in the shoulder.

“I realized I’d been shot, and I realized I wasn’t dead, so I kept running,” he said.

He made it out of the building and ran next door. He said that once he was inside he went running down the hallway of that building, telling every classroom, “Lock the doors, turn the lights off, call 911.”

He eventually ran into an office, where he handed an intern a notepad and pen, tell-ing him to write down everything he told them. He told the intern everything he saw.

“I didn’t really know a lot about guns at the time, so I was like ‘tactical shotgun,’ I didn’t even know what that meant, but that’s what I told him,” Peterson said.

Peterson waited about 30 more minutes until the police arrived. They pulled him into another room where he told the story again. They didn’t notice his wound at first.

“The gunshot wound that I sustained was luckily a graze,” Peterson said.

He was taken to the hospital and later discovered it was only his classroom that was attacked. “

He wasn’t a student of mine,” Peterson said. “He was a former student from NIU who graduated, who had gone down to central Illinois for grad school.”

He said the shooter was battling mental illness, had 18 prior suicide attempts and had been in and out of mental health insti-tutions.

“The reason he chose my classroom on that day at that time is because when he was a student, he was a teaching assistant for a class in sociology in that building, in that room at that time,” he said. “He knew on this day there’ll be about 200 people in that room.” Because the shooter used to teach in that exact room, he knew the back way in.

Peterson said minutes after he got out of the lecture hall, the gunman jumped off the stage, walked down the aisles and shot 13 more students, killing five before taking his own life.

Peterson spent the next few months go-ing to counseling. He said after “struggling through this experience,” he thought to himself, “Alright, I need to get back to life;

otherwise, this person’s taken more.” The experience sticks with him years lat-

er. “It’s always there, but you learn to man-age,” Peterson said.

Peterson now holds active threat train-ing seminars with University Police Capt. Chris Tarmann. Before those training ses-sions, he had tried to get involved in groups to raise awareness about gun violence, “but everything ended up being very political. And this whole gun violence issue is some-thing that shouldn’t be political.”

He said with mass shootings it is ex-tremely difficult to point to one thing as the direct cause.

“You’ve got people on the right blaming mental health, and the media for overhyp-ing it; and people on the left blame how easy it is to a obtain firearms, and how lax some laws can be,” Peterson said.

He said cable news finds “the loudest squeaky wheel” on both sides of the polit-ical spectrum and puts them in a screaming match. He said the blame doesn’t solely fall on media coverage of mass shootings be-cause they’re responding to what people want to read and watch.

He believes mass shootings are caused by a variety of issues and often too boiled down when discussed. He said that Amer-ica has always glorified criminals such as Billy the Kid or Bonnie and Clyde.

Peterson said it is an age where in Amer-ica, fame and notoriety are the same thing.

“I think it’s a trend. These (mass shoot-ings) become a means to an end for some people,” he said.

Things have to shift culturally for this is-sue to change, he said, adding it’s beneficial to talk to people to overcome differences.

Supple delivers mound win as Spartans advanceBy Brad HartmannHerald contributor

In a blink of an eye the Oshkosh North softball team is headed back to Goodman Diamond in Madison for the fourth time in school history with visions of bringing home its first gold trophy.

It didn’t come easy defeating crosstown rival Oshkosh West 5-3 in Thursday’s Di-vision 1 WIAA sectional final match-up with a state bid on the line at the Univer-sity of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Softball Park.

“It was out of this world. I didn’t realize it would come that fast. It felt amazing,” Spartans shortstop Brooke Ellestad said.

“I couldn’t be prouder of our team. I have watched multiple games of North go-ing to state. This is just a completely differ-ent feeling overall being on the field and together with the team in this moment with the seniors.”

In a sold-out (600 tickets) capacity crowd they got their money’s worth right to the end as Wildcats sophomore Brianna Davis started the top of the seventh inning as a pinch hitter with a standing double to center field.

“I was in the dugout and coach came up and told me I was going to be leading off. I knew that he and my teammates believed in me,” she said. “That one I saw into the bat and I knew it was a pretty good hit when I hit it. It was outside probably mid-dle to high.”

With the tying run at the plate, Spartans phenom Sydney Supple was able to get Annika Johnson to fly out to Ellestad and Lacey Cruz to ground into a 6-4-3 double play as Spartans players ran to the mound to celebrate.

The Wildcats knew if they wanted to be the team to advance they needed to attack Supple early and be patient. In the first inning on a 1-2 count with one out, right fielder Taylor Emery took advantage of an inside pitch sending the ball to the left field fence for a standup double.

“We had to show up and play like we mean it. Leading off with that double brought up the mood for a little bit. I knew that was a pitch to hit to help and provide for the team,” Emery said. “To get a hit off her is a lot of people’s dreams because not a lot of people can say that.”

Defensively, the Spartans would have their impressive 18.2-inning scoreless streak snapped on a 1-2 count to left field-er Brianna Geis as Supple let one get away

from her on a wild pitch as Emery came around to score, giving the Wildcats an early 1-0 lead. On the next pitch Supple would get Geis on a swinging strikeout to end the inning.

“It’s part of the game. You’re going to have moments like that. What matters is how you respond and I was really proud how we responded today,” Supple said. “I give a lot of credit to Sophie (Averkamp); she is calling great games back there. I feel that I worked a lot on my spin this off-sea-son and it’s really showing off while work-ing with her.”

The Spartans responded in the bottom of the inning as Wildcat second base-man Leah Engstrom just missed tagging Spartans third baseman Libby Neveau as Averkamp would get credit for a fielder’s choice. On a 1-1 count with two outs first baseman Brie Gauthier would deliver an RBI single, scoring Neveau while Aver-kamp was tagged out at third by Domi-nique Bauer while trying to advance.

From the first to the last pitch Supple’s determined facial demeanor didn’t change while mowing down Wildcats batters. Supple retired them in order in innings two, three and five, with five of the nine

being strikeouts.“I knew what I wanted to accomplish

out of this game. I knew there was nothing standing in the way of my team advancing to Goodman,” Supple said.

The Spartans put up a pair of runs in the bottom of the third. Ellestad led off the inning reaching third base on an er-ror by center fielder Abigail Curtis. Sup-ple would score Ellestad on a 1-2 count by blasting one to the left field fence for a double. Supple then scored as Gauthier slapped a hit into left field.

Wildcats shortstop Emily Miller will always remember her final varsity game while dealing with a leg injury. On a 1-2 count with one out she would take Supple deep for her third home run of the year to left field, cutting the deficit to 3-2 in the top of the fourth.

“It was an inside, down-the-middle pitch. I saw that she was throwing over the plate a lot. I took advantage when I saw one over the plate to drive it and I knew from the bat it was gone,” Miller said. “It’s been a tough couple of weeks because I just got 10 stitches out of my leg. I got cleated in the leg against Appleton East while covering a steal at second.”

In the Spartans bottom half of the in-ning Kohl made a pitching change and went to Johnson and she was able to deliv-er a 1-2-3 inning that featured a great de-fensive play by first baseman Tatum Duff that robbed Noelle Frank of a hit.

The Spartans rallied for two more runs in the bottom half of the fifth inning as Averkamp scored Supple on an RBI sac-rifice fly to make it 4-2. Second baseman Day, on a 2-2 count with two outs, ripped one up the middle to score Neveau for the insurance run that made it 5-2.

In the top of the sixth, Emery continued to be a pest for Supple by launching her third home run of the year to left field on a 2-2 count with two outs.

Supple went on to earn her 17th com-plete game this year (4H, 3 ER, 11K) and improved her career record to 8-0 against West. Cruz and Johnson both pitched three innings for West and gave up four hits. Cruz gave up three runs with two earned along with two walks and four strikeouts. John-son allowed two runs with a walk and two strikeouts.

“I was super nervous. I knew this was

North’s Scherer earns 4th at state track tournamentBy Alex WolfHerald contributor

Oshkosh North sophomore Jack Scher-er had the best finish among local boys over the weekend at the WIAA Division 1 State Track and Field Meet in La Crosse, finishing fourth in the 3,200-meter run.

Scherer finished his race in 9 minutes, 14.13 seconds and was 17 seconds behind the leader.

Scherer was the lone boy representing North while West had four individuals and a relay. Evan Wendland led the way individually with a 14th place finish in the 200, finishing in 22.34.

Wendland was also a part of the 400 relay team (Sean Bougie, Nate Carlin, Ike Kohl) that finished fourth with a time of 42.33.

Bougie made it in the long jump but didn’t have a qualifying score because of

a foul. Blake Framke was 25th in the triple jump (40-03.75) while Max Messina was 23rd in the discus (120-08).

In Division 3, Lourdes had one boy qualify in Peyton Kane. Kane finished 10th in the 3,200 run with a time of 10:18.26.

On the girls side, the West relays had a strong weekend as the 400 team finished fourth while the 800 relay was third.

The teams – combined of Megan Best, Nithya Ambati, Claire Sugrue and Devin Hable – finished in 48.96 and 1:42.71.

Best was the lone individual qualifier for the Wildcats and finished 16th in the 100 preliminaries.

North’s lone qualifier, Ashley Wissink, finished 17th in the pole vault with a height of 9 feet 6 inches.

In Division 3, Ellen Moore represented Lourdes as the junior finished 10th in the 1,600 with a time of 5:34.51.

going to be a tough game. They are a team that if they are getting beat that they will make the adjustments by getting a couple more hits,” Cruz said. “If we made a cou-ple more plays I thought the game would have been a little bit different.”

For West, this season ends a remarkable finish advancing to their second consec-utive sectional finals before coming up short. Next season the Wildcats have a bright future ahead with only graduating three seniors.

“I couldn’t be more proud of these girls,” West coach Tim Kohl said. “Since the last time we played North we were on their ra-dar. I thought we became a team as one to watch and be careful about and it showed today that we can compete with anyone.

“It is a learning experience especially with a young team. I told them to remem-ber how this feels. I know some of my freshman want their plays or at bats back

and they will get them back next year.”Of the eight teams advancing to state

the Spartans are the only top seed remain-ing. Since 2001 there have been only three Division 1 teams to win the WIAA state championship undefeated, and North is looking to engrave its name in the history book as the fourth team.

The top-seeded Spartans will face No. 8 Nicolet (20-7) of the North Shore confer-ence at 10 a.m. Thursday. If the Spartans come out on top they will play the winner of No. 4 Kenosha Bradford/Reuther (23-6) and No. 5 Chippewa Falls (21-6) in the semifinals Friday. The championship game is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Saturday.

“The last time we were at state I was a freshman and played DP,” Gauthier said. “I was on the same team with my sister (Shaye) and it was that type of special mo-ment to go to state with her. Going back to Goodman as a senior feels really great and we are hungry.

“We have been there three of the last four years. We want that championship and that’s our goal since the first day of the season.”

I went from one disastrous management team toanother, year after year. No more! With Bruce andhis team, I can rest knowing that everything ishandled promptly and correctly, every time. All billsare handled by his team, freeing me from hours oftedious work per month. This leaves me with thetime and energy to put into my main business. Mywife loves that all of this busy work has been takenoff my plate, and that I have so much less stressin my life. Thanks Bruce and his awesome TitanProperty Management team for all you do for me.Wish I’d known about you years ago!

—Lets You—Live Better

according to an Associated Press story from 2017. It was reported to be badly corroded and partially disassembled but had all the main parts.

“The project was quite an undertaking,” said Matt Hauck, director of maintenance and production for Basler Turbo Conver-sions. “Over a three-year span we basical-ly restored the aircraft to 1942 condition. The main focus was, of course, a safe, fully functional aircraft, blending 1942 and cur-rent technologies.”

The restoration sought to retain as much of the original skin as possible. The piston engines were overhauled and rebuilt, and main areas of the interior and landing gear bays were repainted with the original col-or and design. In December 2017, the en-

gines were turned over for the first time in more than a decade at Basler’s facility, and last year the CAF continued restoration and installation of historical components of the interior cabin.

“That’s All…Brother,” which also played a part in Operation Market Garden and the Battle of the Bulge during the war, made its inaugural restoration flight in February 2018 and appeared at last year’s EAA AirVenture.

“EAA has eagerly watched the discov-ery and restoration of ‘That’s All...Brother’ from when it was first discovered at Basler Turbo Conversions to its wonderful re-turn to the sky as a lead aircraft for the D-Day Squadron heading to Normandy,” said Dick Knapinski of EAA Communica-tions. “We are excited to welcome it and any of the D-Day Squadron aircraft back to Oshkosh in July.”

CAF curator Keegan Chetwynd said in the AP story that employees at Basler spent more than 22,000 hours restoring the C-47.

“The airplane is much more than an air-craft. It’s a time machine,” Chetwynd said. “(It) provides that tangible connection for the next generation of people so that they know, when they read it in a history book, that it was real.”

The squadron gathered in Oxford, Conn., and had sendoff events that fea-tured two World War II pilots, one of whom flew on D-Day. The airplane group departed May 19 for the journey across the Atlantic with stops at Presque Isle, Maine; Goose Bay, Newfoundland; Narsarsuaq, Greenland; Reykjavik, Iceland; and Prest-wick, Scotland, before landing at Duxford Airfield north of London. They will cross the English Channel on Thursday to join the Daks Over Normandy event.

Moreno Aguiari, executive director of the D-Day Squadron, responded to an email from Europe saying they have 15 airplanes and the cross-channel flight is set for today ( June 5).

“The CAF has reported that ‘That’s All…Brother’ made the trip over with

no problems,” Hauck said. “They will be spending the rest of the week coordinat-ing and practicing for the parachute drops they will be making from formation on the 5th. I can just imagine how amazing that will be.”

The CAF informed Basler that it’s only aircraft in their fleet of 172 with an actual WWII service record.

“They are very pleased with our efforts on their aircraft and the support they re-ceive from our staff,” Hauck said.

D-Day Squadron chief pilot Eric Zip-kin told the EAA, of which he is a mem-ber, “This really is a joint effort with the (CAF), who are joining us with some of their aircraft, most notably ‘That’s All… Brother.’ The logistics and the entire effort really is a joint effort, akin to what hap-pened in 1944 with the liberation of Eu-rope through the D-Day invasion. … We figure (the trip) will be about 15 hours of flying for each aircraft.”

Students and faculty at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University have been pro-viding weather support to the vintage air-craft, which are more restricted by inclem-ent weather with limited internal climate control and de-icing abilities.

More information about the D-Day Squadron is at www.DDaySquadron.org.

The new appointments to the Oshkosh Plan Commission included Lynnsey Er-ickson replacing Ed Bowen through May 31, 2022, and Justin Mitchell as another new member, replacing Andrew Mott. The two new members were approved on a 4-3 split vote. Other new appointments were also approved by resolution.

After the approval process, Margy Dav-ey spoke out as a resident and member of the Oshkosh Civility Project, saying that council members can disagree without being disagreeable.

Councilman Jake Krause and several others said it was exciting to see people come forward and apply to serve on city advisory boards. Councilman Bob Miller said he felt the council needs to come up with a better process to select board mem-bers.

McCarville added to Glo team lineup

Janel McCarville, the top pick in the 2005 WNBA Draft, has signed to play with the Wisconsin Glo in time for their Saturday home game against the Chicago Breeze at Menominee Nation Arena.

McCarville was a prep star at Stevens Point Area High School, garnering Associ-ated Press Wisconsin Co-Player of the Year honors in 2001. She went on to become a two-time All-American at the University of Minnesota, where she is the Gophers’ all-time leader in field goal percentage.

The Charlotte Sting selected McCar-ville first overall in the 2005 WNBA Draft.

The WNBA’s Most Improved Player in 2007, McCarville helped the Lynx win the WNBA championship in 2013.

ObituariesJames Lester Walter

James Lester Walter, of Oshkosh, age 81, passed away with his immediate family by his side at Country Villa Assisted Living in Omro on May 23, 2019. He was born on

April 5, 1938, the son of the late Lester and Lucille (Hartman) Walter and married the late Betty Jean Wal-ter on May 1, 1965. James enjoyed being outdoors and spend-ing time in nature.

Hobbies included fishing, boating, hunt-ing, tinkering in his workshop in the garage, playing cribbage, his love and passion for work as a machinist, and feeding his many outdoor pets at his home in Oshkosh.

James is survived by his children Shel-don and Pamela Walter; his granddaughter Stormy (Thomas) Youngwirth; sisters, Lin-da (Tom) Walter Bochinski, Louise (Gary) Walter Anderson, Shirley ( Jerry) Cross; and his many close friends and extended family.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Betty Jean Walter; his parents Lester and Lucille (Hartman) Walter; and his brother, Jerry Walter.

The family would like to thank the staff and hospice care workers at Country Vil-la Assisted Living in Omro for their sup-port, compassion, and care to James. There wasn’t a nurse, member, or worker there who didn’t love James and have beyond amazing things to say about his sparkling blue eyes, smile, and love for cookies and ice cream, as well as many other favorite desserts.

The family will be holding a graveside service at the family plot in Oakwood Cemetery in Berlin for James on June 7th 2019 at 2pm. Lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to Seefeld Funeral Home in Oshkosh, 1025 Oregon St, Oshkosh, WI 54902. Online condolences to the family may be made at www.seefeldfuneral.com.

Warren W. LohryWarren W. Lohry, age 88, of Oshkosh,

passed away on Tuesday, May 28, 2019 at Aurora Medical Center. Born on June 23, 1930, in Manchester, Wisconsin, the son

of William and Lau-ra (Reimer) Lohry, Warren married Doris Knop on November 23, 1957, at Trinity Lutheran Church in West Allis, Wiscon-sin. Doris preceded him in death on Au-gust 24, 2012.

A proud American Airman, Warren en-listed in the U.S. Air Force on May 26, 1949 and was honorably discharged from duty on December 11, 1952. He later enlisted with the United States Air Force Reserves (Wisconsin Air National Guard) on August 8, 1961, stationed at Truax Field in Madi-son, Wisconsin, where he was a Quality As-surance Inspector. Warren was discharged from service on December 30, 1987.

Warren was a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Oshkosh, member of American Legion Post 70, an EAA Do-cent and yearly attendee at the airshow, member of the Last Man Club, enjoyed NASAR races (cheered for Ford vehicles), a member of Therapy Dogs Inc, and was a volunteer at the Oshkosh Animal Shelter (enjoyed being a dog-walker). Warren was

known for his strength of will – not allow-ing no to be an answer.

Survivors include two sons, James (Margaret “Margie”) Lohry of Hanford, California, and Mark Lohry of Coun-cil Bluffs, Iowa; close friends, Reverend Russell and Ruth Kobs of Watertown, Gloria King of Oshkosh, and Debbie Fer-nau of Oshkosh; a cousin, Sandy Knop of Waupaca; a brother, Robert Lohry of Menasha; two sisters, Delores Bonneau of Lompoc, California, and Lorraine Becker of Ft. Collins, Colorado; several nieces and nephews; and his loyal dog-friend, Nikki. Warren is preceded in death by his wife, parents, a brother, Alvin Lohry, and a sister, Adeline Buzzel.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, June 7, 2019, at 11:00 a.m. in Immanuel Lutheran Church, 338 N. Eagle Street, with Reverend John Seelman officiating. Interment will follow the services at Lake View Memorial Park with full Military Honors. A time of visiting and sharing of memories will be held on Friday from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. at the church. Memo-rials in Warren’s name to the Oshkosh An-imal Shelter would be appreciated. Online condolences to the family may be given at www.seefeldfuneral.com.
