Ben's Story

Life Shout out to the Class of "76! Like everyone else, my life has taken its share of twists and turns since high school.Here's my story... I Live in Mattawan, Mi., a small farming commuity about 15 miles or so southwest of Kalamazoo. My wife Dagmar and I will be celebrating our 24th anniversary in September. We have two incredible daughters, Erika(19 yrs) and Elena(13 yrs). We built a home out in the country and share 16 acres with Dagmar's family. It's a beautiful area and gives us plenty of elbow room. We had a couple of horses for a while, but I got tired of shoveling!. After graduation, I got into the publishing business starting out with the goold old SH Tribune. That was the springboard for a 25+ yr. career in the printing business. I worked for several years for an are a publishing company as a graphic designer and later as Creative Director. After 10 years, I left to become the Creative Director with a medium sized national printing company in Kalamazoo. After 9 yrs. with the company, I was made VP of Sales & Marketing. My job provides plenty of opportunities for travel, as we do a considerable amount of business with companies in Europe and Latin America. We also have a manufacturing facility in China. ...Expand for more
Our family life is busy, but great. Dagmer is in Q/A with MPI Research in Mattawan. It is handy because it is only 10 minutes from the house. It is also a blessing after she was downsized from Pfizer Pharmaceutical. Our oldest daughter Erika is a at MSU (Go Green!) pursuing her degree in elementary education and is part of the Urban Educators program. Elena is in the 7th grade and active in volleyball and indoor soccer and music/theater. I enjoy traveling, gardening and doing projects around the house, as well as golf,tennis and working out at the gym.I am also active in my church as the praise/worship leader. I also sing at the occasional weedding and funeral, as well as performing in area musicals. I think alot about the high school days and all of you folks. Looking back on it, it was an incredible adventure. I had the priviledge of growng up with some great people: many of whom I knew since kindergarten. I really feel blessed to have born and raised in South Haven, and usually come back every summer to lay on the beach for a week or so, and share it all with my family. I hope that this finds everyone healthy and happy. We had some great times together, and I wish you all the best. See you at our next reunion!
