A Special Note About Sheboygan

Hi All – Wanted to share a quick note about Sheboygan. Sheboygan is a really special town to me! My Great-grandfather, John “Jack” DenBoer, met my Great-grandmother, Carol Trass, there, when she immigrated from the Netherlands with her family. Although I never met him, his spirit (and name) are with me always! Grandpa Jack worked in the foundry in Kohler for over 50 years. Following him, my Grandfather Robert DenBoer also worked in the Foundry, and my father worked nights there when he was home from college; five other family members also worked for the Kohler company! Although I grew up in Waukesha, I consider Sheboygan my “second home” in WI. I have great pride in the city – which is one of the most beautiful and authentic I have ever seen – and a lot of love for the people there.Therefore, it is with a great deal of humility and pride that I am able to give back in this small way to the citizens of Sheboygan County. Thank you to all of you for making the greatest little city by the lake so special!
