Coming soon: n Sunday, July 2, several MBB Board members, including Nancy & Fred Gettelman, Dr. David Ryder, Lorraine Hoffman, Stephanie Theissen, Marilyn Levine, John Kretsch, Erik Peterson & President Jeff Platt met at the former Val Blatz offices, now MSOE Alumni Hall, for a "Meet the Val Blatz Celebration," where we met various Blatz family members.
We were all treated to a Blatz history slide show and lecture by John Eastberg, Captain Frederick Pabst Mansion historian, and some Blatz & Blatz Light, courtesy of Miller Brewing Company & Beloit Beverage.
Our thanks to Lorraine for helping secure the Val Blatz building; Lorraine & John for preparing the snacks, John for the sodas plus David and Erik for the beer.
