Thank you Dr. Bortz for your guidance and friendship as a student of yours in the early 1970s. I became an Industrial Education (shop) instructor at a senior high level in Mediapolis, Iowa. Your wisdom helped me throughout my life as a counselor, husband, and father. May you rest in peace in the presence of God.
It was a privilege to know you thru Church and Golden K Kiwanis and the American Legion!!
It's a little prayer
"God Bless You"
but it means so much each day,
It means may angels guard you and guide you on your way.
Thank you Walt for your gentle, humble spirit as well as your passions and knowledge you shared. I am blessed to have spent so many years singing next to you in FUMC Choir!
