Yep, it’s true. My match has ended. I had many health scares, and once even wrestled a bear and won, but “the 19” (as I called it) finally pinned me to the mat Jan 28, 2021.
The 5th of five kids, I was born to George & Josephine in 1942 in George, Iowa. We moved to Worthington when I was five, to the farm I lived on all my life until my kids told me it was time to sell. It wasn’t easy growing up in a three-bedroom house with a pot-belly stove and one bathroom, that is, once we got an indoor bathroom. And kids today think they have it hard. I’ll be reuniting with Dad, Mom and my sister Elizabeth Hatting soon, but my siblings Georgia Young, Marlys Heidebrink, and Dennis Karsten are still alive and kickin’.
