Cedarburg

Here is the Cedarburg bunch, the children of Ron and Mary Jane (Rodkewich). Todd, the oldest boy is on the left. He graduated from Whitewater with a degree in business and lives in Muskego with Cindy and their daughters, Kelly and Laura. He is a sales rep for a Chicago packaging company and travels a bit throughout Wisconsin and Michigan. He’s been named salesman of the year several times. He and Cindy are whizzes at throwing parties. If you’re in the area, you’re invited.

The bearded one is now clean shaven. Donn, our youngest son, graduated from UWM with a degree in criminology and earned a graduate degree in international business at the American Graduate School of International Business in Arizona. He has a glamorous job selling air conditioning motors to sweltering customers in exotic places such as Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Egypt, and to clients in South America. His summer in Chile as an AFS student introduced him to the beauty of the Spanish culture and language, an interest that propelled him into international business.
The beauty in the middle is our oldest. Paula also graduated from Whitewater, majoring in English, and is the busy mother of Rick and Elizabeth. She manages a tight schedule working three days a week at the corporate headquarters for Family Services of America. She and
Randy and their children live close by in Cedarburg making it easy for us to babysit and enjoy the kids.
For rent. Quality apartment in desirable location In Chicago. Parking available. Call Peter, our middle son, who’s become somewhat of an entrepreneur investing his resources and time in the Chicago real estate market. He graduated from UW, Madison, in bacteriology, I think, and spent several years selling apparatus to blood banks throughout the country. After a couple of years in California, he returned to Chicago and eventually decided to try his skills in buying rental property. He’s become quite skillful in carpentry, plumbing repair, and in solving all those problems that hound property owners with renters. There’s no Mrs. yet, but there’s a beautiful chocolate lab called Mocha.
Mary Kay McGuire. We’ve got to get used to that new name since Mary Kay exchanged Geisert for a more attractive Irish surname when she married Kevin in October, 1995. Not only did we inherit a new son-in law, we added two grandchildren, Patrick and Kelly. Mary Kay is another Whitewater graduate, majoring in teaching the severely retarded. Upon graduation she ventured to the desert in Tucson, Arizona where she spent five sunny years. Eventually the call of family and seasonal change lured her back to Wisconsin. Retaining her job with Waste Management in the move, she now throws her weight around as office manager. She’s an authority on recycling, not a bad field when you consider the present interest in the environment.
In addition to these five we did have two more additions to our family. Two AFS students called Lilac Lane home for a school year, Mauro Zocchi Switzerland in 1976 and Mahen Karthigesan, Sri Lanka in 1981
