Member Spotlight - Bill Wandsnider

Where was I born?  I’m a native son! Spent my childhood days riding around on ponies in Menomonee Falls, I’m not from some exotic place like Cudahy!

I’m oldest of six so I became well practiced in teasing my sisters. My family had what you might call a hobby farm but that big garden is how my folks fed that big family and kept us all busy and out of trouble. I’m a good rototiller operator!

We lived right near the stone quarries in Lannon. They were our illegal swimming holes. We got quite good at evading the cops. I remember once getting caught. I was all covered in soap ready to jump in. So I asked if I could rise off. He said go ahead. It was kind of a losing battle to keep us away on a 90 degree day.
