Today's Featured Biography
Wayne Geye
I never really bonded with the graduating class of 1972; I was simply there. In the middle of my junior year in HS I had been dismissed by the Dean of Students from Concordia College High School, an all boys’ prep school for the ministry, for negative conduct on campus and thrust into the regular system.
It seemed obvious to me that the Big Foot student body was comprised of cliques: There were the nerds, the jocks, the farmers, the lake people, the Sharon people, the cheerleaders, the shop persons, the druggies; almost everyone belonged to a specific group and mostly associated within that group.
I was an outsider; I lived in Wayne’s World. I joined the tennis team, not a team sport. I graduated.
Having no specific goals, I became employed for a year after high school by Gordys Lakefront Marine working in the boat refinishing shop and renting out snowmobiles. I learned a lot there from the older craftsmen about working for a living.
To prepare for a potentially promising career, for three years I attended Gateway Technical Institute in Kenosha taking the required courses for a degree in Court/Conference Reporting. I performed well, however I found myself not being able to “sit still” [practice] long enough to achieve the necessary speed requirements. I had far too many distractions.
When the adult legal age was lowered to eighteen, I had already been working at Chuck’s Lakeshore Inn as a stock person. Overnight I became the youngest bartender in the county. Because of the lower “drinking age”, business had increased by about a third; Chuck’s began to stay open year round. I was employed there until 1980.
I had in 1975 become married to the most wonderful and beautiful person on the planet; this marriage lasted 24 years and produced four nearly perfect children. This was not a result of good parenting on my part; I was not always “there” for them.
Hired as a craftsman in 1980 at a paint manufacturing facility, I soon took over shipping and later became the plant/production manager. I was employed there for thirteen years and continued to work part-time in construction and doing side jobs.
It was a relief to change jobs in 1993, going to work incorporating building materials into a new computer system at a lumber yard. I did some remodeling there and soon became production foreman at its’ sister concrete block manufacturing facility.
In 1997 I was hired as a plant manager by Janesville Sand & Gravel; I was assigned to Lycon Plant 8, Lake Geneva. I loaded ready-mix trucks. My plant supplied much of the concrete for the Walmarts in Lake Geneva, Mukwonago and Burlington, The Home Depots in Lake Geneva and Delavan, the middle schools in Lake Geneva and Genoa City, the county courthouse, the bridges on Hwy 12, etc.
In 2008, Plant 8 was closed; I was presented with a permanent lay-off. I had inherited a degenerative muscular disease which has presented itself with gait ataxia; I have retired from employment. I stayed for six weeks a couple years ago in the Dominican Republic; I have enjoyed the past two winters in Arizona.
I am a proud parent and grandparent of four adult children and four and a half grandchildren. I have seen much of Wisconsin from the seat of a bicycle in the past twelve years, riding approximately 3500 miles, and am not pedaling as far or as fast now as in previous years.
