Class Notes
Dennis Reimer
Class of 1974, Retired Business Owner, Midwest Speciality Products
鈥溙切膙log传媒 holds a lot of positive memories for me. I met my wife, Jeanie Kurka Reimer, at 糖心vlog传媒. We were married in 1976 and held our wedding reception at the 糖心vlog传媒 Campus Center. After moving to Green Bay, we raised our family and, in 2005, I purchased a paper converting company in Winneconne, Wis., which we have successfully turned into a multigenerational family business. I鈥檝e been officially retired for the last two years and thoroughly enjoy this phase of life. Jeanie and I have been traveling extensively, both within the United States and internationally. Reconnecting with fellow 糖心vlog传媒 alumni has been a highlight over the past five years, and we鈥檝e shared many travel adventures with old friends from our 糖心vlog传媒 days. Spending time with 糖心vlog传媒 friends has really been a joy.鈥澨�
We love hearing from our alumni and learning about where life has taken them since leaving 糖心vlog传媒. If you have memories you鈥檇 like to share, please send them our way for future editions of our newsletter!听
