University of Wisconsin Organ and Tissue Donation Program
Jul. 23, 2019
Meet Gary Einerson, one of the few people who has experienced organ, tissue and eye donation from both sides.
Gary received two cornea transplants about eight years ago and a liver transplant in 2012. Then, on October 25, 2015, his wife, Sandi, died suddenly after a cerebral hemorrhage and was able to donate her kidneys and liver.
“She always wanted to be an organ donor but thought she was too old,” says Gary.
Even before he lost his wife, Gary, now 78, had volunteered his time on the UW Health Transplant Program’s Patient Family Advisory Council (PFAC). But after Sandi became an organ donor, Gary became a force to be reckoned with.
A retired high school principal, he has spoken to teen driver’s education classes about the importance of being an organ donor and to new transplant nurses at University Hospital about the needs of the patients. When SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital in Madison unveiled its new donor wall and flag in October 2015, he spoke at the ceremony, sharing his gratitude for the care his wife and family received at the hospital.
“It was hard initially to talk about my wife,” says Gary. “It still is. But you learn to frame it in such a way that it feels good to talk about.”
In fact, it feels so good — and Gary is so passionate about this mission — that he has made a concerted effort to speak at as many venues as possible. “You put more than two people together, and I’ll talk to them about organ donation,” says Gary.
Both Gary and his daughter, Jane Bumgardner, of Sturgeon Bay (who also volunteers as a speaker), consider it a tribute to their wife and mother to spend their time promoting organ donation. Sandi, who was always on the move, was a retired teacher and active at their church. She logged more than 30,000 miles a year traveling back and forth to Chicago to see their grandchildren. Since losing her mother, Jane has corresponded with the man who received Sandi’s liver.
“My life was saved, and my wife saved lives,” says Gary. “Registering as an organ, tissue and eye donation is something I encourage everyone to strongly consider.” https://www.uwhealth.org/organ-donation/gary-einerson-a-passion-for-organ-donation/50688 Provided by Anne Weber |

Full Mile Beer Co.& Kitchen
Jul. 30, 2019
Co-owners and Sun Prairie residents Nathan Kinderman and C.J. Hall have known each other since 7th grade, growing up in Oregon, WI. After a handful of discussions during high school class reunions and other get togethers the pair decided to get serious about creating the brewery and restaurant that had been rolling through both their minds for quite a few years. By this time Nathan had spent years in the restaurant and tavern business, most recently as bar manager at Sardine in Madison, WI and as a co-owner of Gates & Brovi, also in Madison. C.J. was a purveyor of branding, marketing and graphic and web design by day and a dedicated homebrewer by nights and weekends. By late 2015 Full Mile Beer Co. & Kitchen was officially licensed with the state and by mid-2016 funding was secured to get FMBC&K off the ground. A location in downtown Sun Prairie, WI was settled on in late 2016 and after many hoops were cleared and a few cuss words uttered, construction on the building that would house FMBC&K began in late 2017. At the helm of the FMBC&K brewhouse is Head Brewer Skyler Kottwitz. Skyler comes to us with years of commercial brewing experience, including stints at local greats Octopi Brewing and New Glarus Brewing. Leading our kitchen is Head Chef Zac Vieth who has over 20 years of experience in kitchens in Seattle, Washington and the Madison area. Our Front of House Manager Rachel Westendorf has years of service industry experience including work in other brewpubs throughout the country. She oversees many aspects of customer service for FMBC&K. https://www.fullmilebeercompany.com/

Climate Change
Aug. 06, 2019
At UW-Madison, Williams uses fossil records from the last ice age to study how species and ecosystems adapt to a rapidly changing world. “We live in a changing world – change is inevitable — and people are unsettled by that,” he says. “Populations are growing worldwide. Climates are changing worldwide. Economies are changing worldwide. Our goal is to give people the best information about how the world is changing, and why, and then leave it to our democracies to figure out how best to move forward.” Research in his lab spans the gamut, from field coring of lake sediments, to analyses of these sediments in the lab (mainly fossil pollen, charcoal, and related signals of past ecological and climatic changes) to continental- to global-scale syntheses of ecological data and climate models. Much of the research, including that on kettle lakes in Wisconsin, relies on the geological record and the last Ice Age as a model system to see how species have responded to past climate change.

Novel: Beneath the Flames
Sep. 17, 2019
First rule of firefighting is to never enter a burning building alone. Sometimes rules must be broken, much like writing.Fire Captain Gregory Lee Renz was involved in a dramatic rescue of two little boys from their burning basement bedroom. He received a series of awards for this rescue including induction into the Wisconsin Fire and Police Hall of Fame in 2006. When he was asked to share the dramatic rescue at several awards banquets, he was moved by the emotional responses he received and was struck by the power of his storytelling. Gregory has always been an avid reader and thought maybe he could craft a compelling novel if he could learn how to get these stories on the page. How hard could that be? He would soon learn. In 2008 Captain Renz retired, exchanging his turnout gear for a writing desk to pursue his passion, storytelling. After numerous creative writing courses through the University of Wisconsin and countless workshops, conferences, and revisions, he finally typed The End to BENEATH THE FLAMES which was inspired by two adorable little girls, around eight and five years of age, who lived across from an inner-city firehouse he was stationed at for three years. Those two girls stayed in his thoughts over the years, demanding he tell their story. They are two of the main characters in the novel. He hopes he did them justice. After serving the citizens of Milwaukee for twenty-eight years as a firefighter, Gregory Lee Renz retired to Lake Mills, Wisconsin with his wife, Paula. Provided by Jeanne Behrend

What is Oral History? And Why Does it Matter?
Oct. 29, 2019
The term oral history appears a lot online, so much so that its true meaning has become obscured. Professional oral historians, such as UW-Madison Oral History Program Head Troy Reeves, have tried to push back against this phenomenon through his writings and presentations, including showing examples of “real” oral history done by Wisconsin organizations, including the WHS. So, join him as he answers two questions: What’s oral history? And why does it matter? Provided by Sherry Fontaine |
