2015 Catalog Dedications DANIEL (LOUIE) JACOBY

GREG KNOPP

The Gillespie County Fair and Festivals Association is dedicating its 2015 Fair Catalog, in part, to Daniel (Louie) Jacoby, an Honorary Lifetime Director. Louie served on the board for 24 years, beginning in 1980. Louie has chaired, cochaired and served on several committees during his years of service, including Daniel Jacoby various livestock committees as well as the Agriculture, Bar and Easter Fires committees. He also played a part in several of the “skits” that were performed at intermission during the queen’s contests in the 1980s and 1990s. Louie has always loved helping the youth of Gillespie County, and for anyone who ever participated in a livestock event, they will remember his willingness to help out wherever needed. He is still serving on the goat and agriculture committees. In addition to his years of service to the Gillespie County Fair and Festivals Association, he has served as president of the Young Farmers, a director with the Stonewall Chamber of Commerce and was voted Outstanding 4-H Adult Leader in 1992. The directors of the 127th Gillespie County Fair are honored to recognize Louie for his years of service and dedication to the Gillespie County Fair and Festivals Association. Thank you, Louie, for all of your support.

The 127th Gillespie County Fair Catalog is dedicated, in part, to Greg Knopp, an Honorary Lifetime Director. Greg served as a director of the Gillespie County Fair and Festivals Association, Inc., for 28 years, from 1978 to 2006. He served as an officer for 12 of the first 16 years he was on the board of directors and was president of the association in 1993. Greg Knopp In addition to the time spent as an officer, Greg served in various capacities on several committees, including Racing, Finance, Float, Livestock and Scholarship. A highlight for Greg was serving on the committee that celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Gillespie County Fair in 1988. One of Greg’s most rewarding experiences was being part of the group that prepared the application for parimutuel racing and taking that application through the approval process with the Texas Racing Commission. This successful process led to the establishment of the scholarship committee which he has been a member of since its inception. The organization has helped more than 575 students with scholarships totaling in excess of $325,000 over the past 20-plus years. The directors of the 127th Gillespie County Fair are honored to recognize Greg for his years of service and dedication to the Gillespie County Fair and Festivals Association. Thank you, Greg, for all of your support.

JERRY DURST The 127th Gillespie County Fair Catalog is dedicated, in part, to the memory of the late Jerry Durst, an Honorary Lifetime Director who served on the board from 1998 until his death on Sept. 18, 2014. In his 17 years as a director, Jerry served on a number of committees, including Racing, Livestock, Agriculture, Home Skills and Float. He and his family would always pitch in to lend a helping hand where needed during events. His involvement with the association was enthusiastic and his commitment to help the Gillespie County Fair and Festivals Association become an increasingly successful organization was sincere. Jerry served as president of the 116th fair, and held other offices, including vice president and CPAL. His greatest commitment was toward the youth of the county and he was the driving force behind getting the upgrades done to the Livestock Barn.

Jerry was involved in a number of other organizations, including the Gillespie County Farm Bureau, Gillespie County Youth Livestock Show, Hill Country Horse Club and the Fredericksburg Independent School District Board of Trustees. It is with great pride and gratitude that the directors of the 127th Gillespie County Fair wish to recognize Durst; Jerry Durst his wife, Kathy, and their daughters, Teresa Pope, Amber Elliott and Jennifer Barnett, for their support and dedication to the Gillespie County Fair and Festivals Association. Thank you for your help and hard work.

END OF AN ERA Dooley to retire from parade committee By Matt Ward

atching next year’s 128th Gillespie County Fair parade is going to be different for Tim Dooley, who will retire after this year’s event. A longtime member of the Gillespie County Fair and Festivals Association’s parade committee, Dooley has been a key player in helping to kick off the county’s Tim Dooley premiere festival since he was knee-high. “Officially, I’ve been on there (parade committee) since I got out of college, but my dad (John Dooley) was on the committee for 40 years and when he started, I started,” Dooley said. His earliest fair parade memories are heading up to Dooley’s 5-10 & 25 Cent Store and watching his father and other parade committee members prepare entries on an old mimeograph machine. “They would cut a stencil, get all the entries and start about 6 o’clock on the Thursday night (before the Friday parade) and they would cut a stencil with the typewriter, mimeograph it all and then put it all together,” he said. “They’d get finished at around 2 or 3 in the morning and the parade was at 10 o’clock. Sometimes the ink wasn’t hardly dry.” “Technology has changed things to the point where doing paperwork is a lot easier than it ever was,” he added. When he was a tad bit older, Dooley said he enjoyed driving Jeeps carrying parade judges around the staging area even though he didn’t have a license. Lining things up Once he became a full-fledged member of the parade committee after college, Dooley began helping organize parade entries and setting up the running order, a tricky thing to balance in order to keep the parade in motion and not overloading musical acts in any given part of the route.

“For those of us that have done it (organizing the parade order) for 50 years, it probably takes about two hours,” Dooley said. “For somebody that’s never done it before and doesn’t understand it, it’s a daunting task.” Participation in the parade has ebbed and flowed over the past 40 years, he noted, though recent years have seen a rise in commercial entries as well as the number of vehicles per entry. “The parade has evolved in my opinion over the last probably five to seven years,” Dooley said, adding that school districts moving the start of their fall semesters into August has limited participation among younger generations. “In the old days, school started after Labor Day and the fair parade was always before Labor Day,” he said. “Consequently, you could get lots of school kids. You could get those duchesses and those queens from other communities whose mindset for their particular organization is make the parade during the summer and we were still in the summer.” Support from the Fredericksburg Independent School District, which cancels classes on the Friday of fair weekend has been instrumental in keeping youth involvement in the parade, he added. Anniversaries Dooley’s fondest memories of his time serving on the parade committee were the parades associated with Fredericksburg’s 150th birthday in 1996 and the fair association’s 125th anniversary in 2013. Participation in the 2013 parade was so large, he recalled, the first entry had made its way back to the staging area with over 40 entries yet to hit Main Street to begin their rounds. A special category for family entries was added for the 125th fair parade. “That’s one where some of the old, old families pulled together a float with their ancestors,” Dooley said. “That was also the year that they invited all of the past queens forever back to ride in the parade,” he added.

The annual Gillespie County Fair Parade, shown in 2013, regularly spans more than ﬁve city blocks along Main Street. — Photo courtesy Marc Bennett

“That was really, really a big deal because those women were anywhere from 22-23 all the way up to 65 or 70 years old. A lot of them, depending on how old you are, you could recognize most all of them.” Tradition Though Gillespie County now has its fair share of annual parades, the fair parade will remain closest to Dooley’s heart because of its tradition. “It was really the first one, the granddaddy of them all. When we had no other parades to be had, that was the one that people remembered and the one people participated in,” Dooley said. “It was part of the tradition of the fair itself. It was the kickoff of the three days of horse racing, judging, the midway and all of the other things that were associated with the event of the fair that started it all.”

Wearing the Crown By Autumn Bernhard Hair spray, makeup, jewelry, sashes, crowns and dresses are just a few of the things that the fair court is familiar with. Although it might just seem like a ride on a float at parades, getting to the crown is a long process. The process begins when applications become available at the fair office at the Gillespie County Fair Grounds or online at www.gillespiefair.com. Girls must be a sophomore or junior and enrolled in a Gillespie County high school for the 2015-2016 school year. Applicants must be in good standing at the high school and maintain a minimum grade average of 75 for the year. Also, girls must have attended a Gillespie County high school during the 2014-2015 school year. An applicant must have written consent signed by her parent(s) and/or legal guardian to enter the contest. Girls must not have been charged with any misdemeanor or felony, excluding minor traffic violations. Girls also must not be married or have ever been mar-

ried, or have a child or have ever had a child. After turning in applications, girls attend a mandatory meeting with the directors and reigning court to discuss what happens fair Friday. One or both parents and/or legal guardian must be in attendance, also. “I decided to try out for fair queen because I remembered that little girl who had dreamed of being a part of the fair court one day,” Victoria Klein, 2015 fair queen, said. “I wanted to learn what it felt like to be scared to do something and not know the outcome. Little did I know that God had plans for me.” At the parade, the applicants ride the contestant float. Afterward, the girls head to the fair grounds to conduct an individual interview with the judges. “When I had my private interview, I told the judges that being part of the fair court was not about the dresses, sash or crown we get to wear, but to talk to people and tell them about where I’m from and tell them about the longest running fair — the Gillespie County Fair,” Hannah Fewox, 2015 second duchess, said. Friday night, the girls go on stage and are asked a question in front of an audience during the crowning ceremony.

COMPETITIVE COOKING Amateur chefs do friendly battle for fair prizes By Christine Granados

he drama of a Cowboys vs. Eagles matchup, with running back DeMarco Murray on the field for Philadelphia, has nothing on the Gillespie County Fair baking competition. When it comes to baking, Hill Country residents are as competitive as any member of the NFL. Instead of taunting and excessive celebrating, bakers are more inclined toward praising and excessive politeness. Co-chair of the Baking and Candy Department, Ursula Worrell is a case in point. â€œI just love the fair. I look forward to it every year. As soon as itâ€™s over, I miss it. Itâ€™s the highlight of my year. I go plumb nuts during fair,â€? said Worrell, who has been entering her recipes in the fair for the last 35 years. â€œI guess itâ€™s the competition. Every year I tell myself, â€˜It doesnâ€™t matter if I win or not. This is just for fun.â€™ But, if I donâ€™t win, I pout.â€? Worrell remembered when the late Irene Weinheimer was in charge of the baking/candy division. â€œI would enter and they would tell us, â€˜If you win, weâ€™ll call you when all the entries are judged.â€™ I would go home and sit by the phone to wait for the call,â€? Worrell said. â€œSometimes, they wouldnâ€™t call before bedtime and I would say, â€˜Oh man, she hasnâ€™t called.â€™ Then, thankfully, they would call in the morning.â€? Worrell is reigning Overall Yeast Bread and Best Bar Cookie champion. She plans to enter in those categories again this year, and sheâ€™ll have plenty of competition. Lindsay Crenwelge, who has been entering, and winning, baking competitions in the area for the past 15 years is hot on Worrellâ€™s tail. â€œUrsula does very well,â€? Crenwelge said. â€œI havenâ€™t beaten her in the

bread category, but I will one day.â€? Crenwelge took particular joy in ousting the late Jerome Jenschke in the pie baking competition. Jenschke was to Hill Country baking what Murray is to NFL rushing stats. He racked up high numbers. His pies and cobblers won 40-plus trophies and over 900 ribbons throughout his baking career. A fifth place Jenschke pie brought in No. 1 draft pick money. It sold for $500 at a Stonewall Peach JAMboree baking contest. â€œWhen I beat Jerome, I thought I did something right,â€? Crenwelge said. â€œHe came up and congratulated me. He was a good guy â€” super nice guy.â€? Crenwelge said it was the highlight of her day when Jenschke introduced himself to her after she beat him for best overall pie. â€œHe said he was happy I beat him,â€? she said. â€œHe told me that it was nice for the younger generation taking an interest in it.â€? Crenwelgeâ€™s baking pedigree dates

back to her Oma, Mary Crenwelge, who owned and operated Moritz Bakery in Fredericksburg. â€œWhen I was little, I stood on a chair and would watch her bake pies and stuff. I did not get my baking skills from my mother,â€? she laughed, as her mother, Barbara chuckled. Crenwelge said she plans to enter several baking categories this year. She, along with Worrell, will keep the tradition alive. â€œI want to keep entering. I love baking because bread is my favorite. I love to bake. Charlieâ€™s mother baked in an old wood stove,â€? Worrell said, about her mother-in-law. â€œI wish I could do that. My recipe came off a Gold Medal Flour five pound sack.â€? Worrell is one of 300 members on 43 committees who volunteers her time at the Gillespie County Fair. She and Virginia Feuge have headed up the baking and candy category for 15-plus years. â€œI help with baking because it tastes good and makes people happy,â€? Feuge said. â€œThereâ€™s so much good stuff out there. Every year people come with things that are new and better.â€?

A FAMILY TRADITION Familial ties keep county fair strong By Joshua McKinney

t’s all about tradition when it comes to the Gillespie County Fair. The fair itself is full of timely favorites like horse racing, a parade, musical entertainment, agricultural shows and more. But the activities aren’t the only thing that makes the Gillespie County Fair special. It is also the directors. The current board is comprised of 47 members; several of those men follow in the steps of their fathers and grandfathers who have also volunteered as directors. Among the multi-generational directors currently serving on the board is Robert (Henry) Sagebiel. Sagebiel, who is president of the board this year, follows his father, Mike, who served 28 years and was president in 1989, and his grandfather, Victor Sagebiel, a board member for 23 years and president for the 1966 fair. Henry Sagebiel, now in his 14th year as a director,

Henry and Mike Sagebiel

practically grew up at the fair grounds. “I was at the fair grounds before I could walk,” he said. “My dad was a director when I was a kid and I was always out there. A lot of my friends and family grew up out there. Now they’re board directors. It’s neat.” Like Henry Sagebiel, many of the other directors also grew up at the fair grounds watching their fathers and grandfathers volunteering their time for the Gillespie County Fair and Festivals Association. It’s not uncommon for some of these directors to start helping out before becoming a part of the fair board themselves. Brian Roeder and Brad Roeder also grew up at the fair grounds. Their father, Billy, served as a director for 26 years and was president in 1979. Billy retired in 2002 and is an honorary lifetime director. Great-grandfather Willy Roeder served before them in the 1930s-1940s. “With us, it was in the family,” Brian Roeder said. “It does something for the community. It’s a good thing and we’re trying to keep it going.” Edward Stroeher, who is in his 28th year on the board, grew up going to the old fair grounds, which was located where H-E-B is, and is also following in the footsteps of his father, Roy, who was a director for 20 years and served as board president in 1969, and grandfather, Edgar, who served 16 years and was the fair board president in 1967. “I always felt a connec-

Troy and Wallace Ottmers

tion to the old fair grounds because the family business (Stroeher & Son) was across the street,” Edward Stroeher said. “I spent a lot of time there growing up so there was little doubt that I would become a fair director at some point.” Following in his forefathers’ footsteps, Edward eventually helmed the board as president twice (2006 and 2013). “There’s a sense of pride in it,” Edward Stroeher said. “I’m not saying that being a third generation fair director is a bigger deal than someone who isn’t. But it seems that if you have those roots, it means a lot.” And it is that sense of pride and tradition that keep the fair directors going. “It’s a lot of work but it’s nice when you have your friends there,” Sagebiel said. “When you have a good group of guys working together, you can get a

lot of work done in a short amount of time and not have a lot of complications.” “That’s a good thing about the fair association,” he said. “We have enough members that we can always pick up a phone and try to get help there pretty fast.” Being a fair director means spending a lot of time at the fair grounds, especially during the summer months. Directors work four nights a week leading up to the horse races in getting the grounds ready. During the four-day fair, Brian Roeder says directors show up between seven and eight in the morning and don’t leave until the wee hours of the next day. It might seem crazy to some to spend all that time on volunteering, but the directors don’t consider it work. “If it was work, you ▶▶ Cont. on page 22

Family tradition wouldn’t do it if you’re not getting paid,” said Billy Roeder. “You put in long hours out there and you do it every year. I don’t know why people do it. I guess you have to enjoy it.” “Those directors have to put in a lot of time at the fair grounds,” Roy Stroeher said. “It’s all done with volunteer help and everybody has to help. And that’s the way it’s been. They know if they have an event coming up they have to spend lots

of time getting it ready.” It’s all worth it in the end. The fair directors enjoy helping give back to a community they love. “The more successful the fair can be, the more we can give back to the public,” Sagebiel said. “That’s what it’s about. That’s why the fair’s in its 127th year. We try to do whatever we can to help the community and the community helps us out. The fair shows stability in the community.” The fair board isn’t exclusive to members with family ties and many board members recognize that younger generations grow up and leave Gillespie County. Troy Ottmers, a third-generation honorary lifetime director who served for 24 years and was the 1991 fair board president, realizes

Brian, Brad and Billy Roeder

that new families are important to the board. Ottmers’ father, Wallace, was a board member for 25 years and president in 1970, and grandfather, Walter, was a board member for eight years and president in 1953. Troy Ottmers retired from the board in 2011 but still lends a hand for the fair. “We’re getting a lot of new faces in Fredericksburg,” Ottmers said. “We still have a lot of second or third gen-

eration faces on the board but you’re seeing that less and less … it’s just a fact of life. People are moving away.” “You have to involve new people and hope they learn a sense of community and history,” Edward Stroeher said. “The fair’s been here 127 years and it’s important to keep it going. You hope you can get people involved who will take the fair seriously and keep the tradition going.”

How to bet? Head to the betting window and give the teller this information: 1.) The number of the race betting on and the amount of money that is being wagered from $2 and up. 2.) The type of wager such as “Win”, “Place”, “Show”, “Quinella”, “Exacta”, “Trifecta”, etc. 3.) The official program number of the horse or horses for the bet. It was noted that bettors should not use the horse’s name.

H. MOELLERING CONSTRUCTION, LLC Proudly supporting the community at all the local events.

For example, say: “In the first race, I would like $2 to Win on number one.” or “In the second race, I would like a $2 Exacta with 7-2.”

RACING GLOSSARY A ACROSS THE BOARD: Bet a horse to win, place and show, and if the horse wins, the bettor collects all three ways.

D DAILY DOUBLE: In a “Daily Double”, the bettor picks the winners of two consecutive races designated as “Daily Double” in the official race program. The wager must be made before the start of the first of the two races. For example: “$2 Daily Double 8-9” means the bettor has selected the 8 horse in the first half and the 9 horse in the second half.

E EXACTA: Pick the top two finishers in the exact order in which they finish. Example: “$2 exacta 1-2” means the number one horse has to finish first and the number two horse has to finish second. EXACTA BOX: Bettors can “box” two, three or more horses to cover a number of possible combinations. For example: a three-horse exacta box would make for six combinations and would cost $12 for a $2 bet. A “$2 Exacta Box 3-4-5” means any two of the three horses must finish first and second, in any order.

Q QUINELLA: Pick the top two finishers in any order in the race. Example: “$2 Quinella 1-2” means the one and two horses finishes first and second in any order. QUINELLA BOX: Choose more

than two horses for a Quinella box. For example, a three-horse box (three wagers) would cost $6, a four-horse box (six wagers) costs $12 and a fivehorse box (10 wagers) costs $20. Of those horses selected, two of them must finish first and second, in any order.

S SUPERFECTA: Pick the top four finishers in a race in the exact order.

T TRIFECTA: Pick the top three finishers in the exact order. Example: “$2 Trifecta 7-8-9” means the seven horse must finish first, the eight horse must finish second and the nine horse must finish third. TRIFECTA BOX: The Trifecta Box includes every possible combination that couldresult from the selected horses. Example: “$2 Trifecta box 4-5-6”, means those three horses must finish first, second and third in any order. The $2 bet would cost $12. A $2 four-horse Trifecta box costs $48 and a $2 fivehorse Trifecta box costs $120. TWIN TRIFECTA: Like the daily double, this bet involves two races designated as “Twin Trifecta” in the race program. To win, the bettor must pick the first, second and third place finishers in exact order in the first half of the designated race. After the first race is declared official and before the second race is run, the bettor exchanges the winning ticket and selects the first three horses in the exact order of the second race of the “Twin Trifecta”.

Blue Ribbon Summer

Fair weekend legacy continues Take a look back through the ‘fives’ The Gillespie County Fair is not called the “oldest, continuous county fair in Texas” for nothing. The 127th fair is set for Aug. 20-23 and has taken time to get where it is today. Through multiple location changes, different events, many headliners and queens, the fair has earned its title. Now, take a look back to see what has made the fair it is today. 1915 The 30th Gillespie County Fair was held at the 400 block between South Adams and South Lincoln streets. This was the third site of the fair and is still referred to as “the old fair grounds.” The HEB grocery store now occupies this area. The three-day fair opened at 10 a.m., Wednesday, Sept. 8. A special feature of this year was when Thursday was named “Home-Coming Day”. This was when Gillespie County citizens who resided outside the county were encouraged to attend. Officers for that fair were Wm. Bierschwale, president; C.H. Nimitz, vice president; Ad. Gold, treasurer; and Hy. Hirsch, secretary. 1925 The fair was held Aug. 21-23. Admission prices for each day were $.50 for adults,

Dances have been a big attraction for many fair goers over the years. Dances this year will be open until 1 a.m. — Standard-Radio Post historical files

$.25 for children ages 6-15 and free for five and under. Dancing was held every night during the fair at Klaerner’s. Directors for the fair were Wm. Schneider, R.L. Kott, F.W. Arhelger, Otto Henke, M.J. Bierschwale, J.E. Bell and F.G. Stehling. 1935 The 50th anniversary of the fair was held Sept. 6-8 at the old fair grounds. The fair included baseball games, band concerts, horse races and a carnival. Each day, $125 in cash was given away. On opening day of the fair, school kids were admitted free to the grounds. This did not include the carnival. Admission for adults was $.35, for children, $.15, and cars cost $.25 Race fans gather yearly in the grandstand seating for horse races. each. A new grandstand made its debut in 1976. — Standard-Radio This was the first Post historical files

time there were color pages within the fair catalog. 1945 The fair was cancelled due to World War II. The fair resumed in 1946. 1955 The parade kicked off fair weekend on Aug. 19 at 10 a.m. More than 70 businesses closed at noon on opening day of the fair. Admission prices ranged from $.30 to $1 for adults and free to $.25 for children. Six horse races were run each day. The Fredericksburg Giants played a baseball game each day, facing Comfort, Boerne and Austin. Perrie Jo Bode was fair queen. Riding the float with her were Corinne Cameron, Rosemary Petermann and Janet Itz. The final night of the fair, Aug. 21, had a rain shower but attendance was still ruled as a success. 1965 The fair this year was two miles long and featured three bands, the Fourth Army Band of Fort Sam Houston, Fredericksburg High School Band and St. Mary’s High School Band. Also in the parade were 12 queens from

Blue Ribbon Summer around the surrounding areas. The fair catalog was dedicated to Adm. Chester Nimitz. Sharon Fritz was fair queen with Lila Manger and Carol Jean Schmidt, duchesses. The fair included grandstand shows of a tightrope walker, a juggler, a flying trapeze and someone who was billed as Europe’s greatest illusionist. There was a carnival midway, bands and seven horse races daily. 1975 This was the last fair to be held at the “old fair grounds.” On the final night of the fair, there was a farewell to the grounds that ended with the lowering of the flag. In the last race of fair weekend, a horse threw its jockey off. The horse, alone, crossed the finish line first but was not declared the winner. Star Dane and jockey Cecil Keith got the win. “Gentle Ben,” a trained bear in movies and television shows, headlined a grandstand show. Sharon Jack was fair queen, with Linda Fishel and Emilie Krauskopf as duchesses. 1985 The 1985 fair was held Aug. 23-25 at the 90-acre site two miles out Texas 16. The grounds had a modern steel and aluminum grandstand, race track and a bigger exhibition hall. This is still the location of

The Ferris wheel can be spotted from a couple of miles away from the fair grounds at night. The fair moved to the current fair grounds in 1976. — Standard-Radio Post historical files

Riding the fair float is one of the many responsibilities the queen and duchesses have. Crowned as Gillespie County Fair royalty in 2005 were, from left, Queen Stephanie Basse, Rachel Fikes, second duchess; Heather Deike, first duchess; Jessica Eckhardt, third duchess and Jenna Buch, fourth duchess. — Standard-Radio Post historical files the fair. The night before the fair, there was a preview of the carnival with no admission fee. Dances were held with Last Road to Texas band playing on Friday night and Eddy Raven headlining Saturday. There was a record of 30 girls vying for the queen’s crown at the ceremonies held Aug. 23. Fair queen Kimberly Durst and duchesses Tina Escamilla and Heather Bell were on hand to crown the winners. Twenty-two races were held over the twoday period. Officers were Oliver Rode, president; Andrew Jenschke, vice president; Milton Jung, secretary; and Robert Cervantes Sr., treasurer. 1995 The parade kicked off fair weekend on Aug. 24 with 103 units. Fair queen Heidi Zey and duchesses Leslie Lees, Breezy Fields, Jeanette Grona and Cami Deike rode the fair float. KNAF 9.10 AM broadcasted the parade, livestock judging and horse races over the weekend. Attendees could pay $10 for ride privileges for an entire day. A total of two inches of rain fell on Thursday and Friday. It was estimated that over 7,000 people attended Saturday night’s dance featuring

Ty Herndon, Scott Hofmann and Southern Image. 2005 The 2005 fair was held Aug. 25-28, and kicked off with the parade on Main Street. Saturday, a pitching tournament was hosted along with horse races. Stephanie Basse was fair queen with Jessica Eckhardt, Heather Deike, Jenna Buch and Rachel Fikes as duchesses. Officers for 2005 were Brian Roeder, president; Edward Stroeher, first vice president; Brad Schneider, second vice president; Fred Jung, treasurer; and Marvin Crenwelge, secretary.
