Dale Malzahn
I was born and raised in Utica, Michigan. From there I went on to Wayne State University to study Chemical Engineering and where I met my future wife Barb. I graduated in March of 1969 and hired on at Pennsalt in Wyandotte. We were married in August of 1969 and recently celebrated our 51st anniversary. In October of ’69 I was drafted. In the Army I was trained as a Combat Engineer. They taught me how to build bridges and then blow them up. We spent the majority of my service time at Ft. Carson in Colorado.
I spent 31 years in the Chemical business as a Process Engineer and later a Technical Manager. I worked for Pennsalt, Pennwalt, Atochem N.A., Elf Atochem and finally ATOFina, all at the corner of Pennsylvania and Biddle, retiring in 2001.
In 2002, I completed my studies in the Parish Lay Specialist Program at Concordia, Ann Arbor. I was hired by St. Paul Lutheran Church in Trenton as Director of Outreach. After several years there I retired again but continued my work until Covid struck. I joined Rotary as a way to continue to help others.
Over the years we have lived in Detroit, Colorado Springs, Lincoln Park, Dearborn Heights, Allen Park and now Trenton since 2004. We have two children, a son and a daughter. Our son, his wife and three daughters live in North Carolina. Our daughter, her husband and son live down the street from us. Her three older children are grown and gone. We now have a great grandson who lives with his parents in Colorado.
Since 1980, I have been President, CFO and janitor of Wyandotte Stamps. During that time we have bought and sold millions of postage stamps to collectors.
