Fritz driving his tractor
I have enjoyed working in the bookbinding industry for most of my working life. I started in bookbinding at 25 and worked in a bindery for 15 years. Now I am the owner of a company that produces products for bookbinding. We produce everything that a company needs to make books. This is a great business to be in — wonderful people dedicated to their business and to books. I also collect books that have unique printing and bindings.
Another passion is the restoration of the prairie and woodlands on a small piece of land I acquired 15 years ago. It’s a great hobby and I get to spend a lot of time outdoors in nature.
I have 7 great children and 4 wonderful grandchildren.
I look forward to this trip as a great learning adventure and of course a big challenge.
